Scripts for construction of polyA atlas and subsequent filtering steps #16

Closed aparajitadutta closed 3 years ago

aparajitadutta commented 4 years ago

Hi! I have just started looking into the ExpressRNA apa module. I found it interesting and I think the tool will be useful to identify the polyA sites in the human cell line. I have completed the step of mapping and obtained aligned BAM files sorted by coordinates. However I am confused regarding the next steps. I need to iterate over each alignment taking the first (5') nucleotide as a potential polyA cleavage site. Please help me with the script(s) that provides the code for constructing the polyA atlas / database from BAM files by clustering alignment ends (or beginnings, depending on the protocol) and the subsequent filtering steps.

Hello aparajitadutta,

Thank you for trying out expressRNA apa module!

Did you try to run:

apa.polya

Part of the analysis? This module constructs a polyA database from experiments in your library.

Hope this helps, Gregor
