Metabolic labeling of RNA is a powerful technique for studying the temporal dynamics of gene expression. Nucleotide conversion approaches greatly facilitate the generation of data but introduce challenges for their analysis. We here present grandR, a comprehensive package for quality control, differential gene expression analysis, kinetic modeling, and visualization of such data. We compare several existing methods for inference of RNA synthesis rates and half-lives using progressive labeling time courses. We demonstrate the need for recalibration of effective labeling times and introduce a Bayesian approach to study the temporal dynamics of RNA using snapshot experiments.

"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.
