ChimPipe is a computational method for the detection of novel transcription-induced chimeric transcripts and fusion genes from Illumina Paired-End RNA-seq data. It combines junction spanning and paired-end read information to accurately detect chimeric splice junctions at base-pair resolution.
ChimPipe have been developed at the [Computational Biology of RNA Processing group] (http://www.crg.eu/en/roderic_guigo) in Barcelona, Spain.
Two different ways:
Go to the releases tab and download the latest release.
Clone the git repository in case you want the latest version of the code:
# Move into the folder in which you want to clone the repositoy.
$ cd ~/apps
# Clone it.
$ git clone https://github.com/Chimera-tools/ChimPipe.gitChimPipe does not require any further installation step. It already comes with precompiled GEMtools binaries. It is written in Bash and Awk and can be run as a standalone application on diverse Linux systems.
