ASEQ - fast allele-specific studies from next-generation sequencing data


DESCRIPTION

Single base level information from next-generation sequencing (NGS) allows for the quantitative assessment of biological phenomena such as mosaicism or allele-specific features in healthy and diseased cells. Such studies often present with computationally challenging burdens that hinder genome-wide investigations across large datasets that are now becoming available through the 1,000 Genomes Project and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) initiatives. ASEQ is a tool to perform gene-level allele-specific expression (ASE) analysis from paired genomic and transcriptomic NGS data without requiring paternal and maternal genome data. It offers an easy-to-use set of modes that transparently to the user takes full advantage of a built-in fast computational engine. ASEQ can be used to rapidly and reliably screen large NGS datasets for the identification of allele specific features and can be integrated in any NGS pipeline and runs on computer systems with multiple CPUs, CPUs with multiple cores or across clusters of machines.
