KisSplice

Keywords: Bioinformatics - Bioinfirmatics search sequence - Genomics - NGS

Functional Description: Enables to analyse RNA-seq data with or without a reference genome. It is an exact local transcriptome assembler, which can identify SNPs, indels and alternative splicing events. It can deal with an arbitrary number of biological conditions, and will quantify each variant in each condition.

Release Functional Description: Improvements : KissReads module has been modified and sped up, with a significant impact on run times. Parameters : –timeout default now at 10000: in big datasets, recall can be increased while run time is a bit longer. Bugs fixed : Reads containing only 'N': the graph construction was stopped if the file contained a read composed only of 'N's. This is was a silence bug, no error message was produced. Problems compiling with new versions of MAC OSX (10.8+): KisSplice is now compiling with the new default C++ compiler of OSX 10.8+.
