Show abstract
Analysis of allele-specific gene expression (ASE) is a powerful approach for studying gene regulation. However, detection of ASE events relies on accurate alignment of RNA-sequencing reads, where challenges still remain. We have developed PAC, a method that combines multiple steps to improve the quantification of allelic reads, including personalised (i.e. diploid) read alignment with improved allocation of multi-mapping reads. We show that PAC outperforms standard alignment approaches for ASE detection in both accuracy and in the number of sites it can reliably quantify.
Matching journals
The top 5 journals account for 50% of the predicted probability mass.
"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
