DE-kupl: exhaustive capture of biological variation in RNA-seq data through k-mer decomposition
Abstract We introduce a k-mer-based computational protocol, DE-kupl, for capturing local RNA variation in a set of RNA-seq libraries, independently of a reference genome or transcriptome. DE-kupl extracts all k-mers with differential abundance…
