Model-based Analysis of Genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 Knockout (MAGeCK) is a computational tool to identify important genes from the recent genome-scale CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screens technology. For instructions and documentations, please refer to the wiki page. MAGeCK is developed by Wei Li and Han Xu from Dr. Xiaole Shirley Liu's lab at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute/Harvard School of Public Health, and is maintained by Wei Li lab at Children's National Medical Center. We thank the support...

...The pipeline has been validated and streamlined by comparing its predictions to manually curated gene models in three fungal genomes, and its results show substantial increases in sensitivity and selectivity over previous gene predictions. Sensitivity is gained by repeatedly running the HMM gene predictor Augustus with varied input parameters, and selectivity by choosing the models with best homology to known proteins and best agreement to the RNA-Seq data. SnowyOwl has successfully predicted genes in 26 novel fungal genomes. ...

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. ...
