This pipeline goes from RNA-seq (or similar) data to a table of total allelic counts per gene (or other genomic interval). That table serves as input for the further analysis of allelic imbalance with Qllelic.
This is a re-implementation of the ASEReadCounter
tool from GATK, based on allelecounter scripts by S.Castel.
The pipeline consists of two main parts:
Reference preparation
construct individual "paternal" and "maternal" genome references, create heterozygous VCF.
Creation of tables with allelic counts
