FineSplice
Enhanced splice junction detection and estimation from RNA-Seq data
FineSplice is a Python wrapper to TopHat2 geared towards a reliable identification of expressed exon junctions from RNA-Seq data, at enhanced detection precision with small loss in sensitivity.
Following alignment with TopHat2 using known transcript annotations, FineSplice takes as input the resulting BAM file and outputs a confident set of expressed splice junctions with the corresponding read counts. Potential false positives arising from spurious alignments are filtered out via a semi-supervised anomaly detection strategy based on logistic regression. ...
