Frequently Asked Questions about bio-splicing-pipeline

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I identify differential alternative splicing events from RNA-seq FASTQ files?

You can perform differential splicing analysis with rMATS-turbo directly on RNA-seq FASTQ files. The pipeline handles STAR 2-pass alignment and junction quality control automatically before running the differential testing.

What is the best way to run junction saturation checks for alternative splicing analysis?

The best way to run junction saturation checks for alternative splicing analysis is through an end-to-end pipeline that integrates quality control after STAR 2-pass alignment. This ensures robust junction discovery and quantification before differential testing.

Can I generate Sashimi plots for condition-specific splice events from RNA-seq data?

Yes, you can generate Sashimi plots for condition-specific splice events from RNA-seq data. The pipeline produces Sashimi plot visualizations and standardized reports for publication-ready results after identifying top differential splicing candidates.

Does this RNA-seq splicing analysis pipeline support IsoformSwitchAnalyzeR?

Yes, this RNA-seq splicing analysis pipeline supports optional IsoformSwitchAnalyzeR analysis. It integrates this tool alongside rMATS-turbo differential testing to generate robust results and support downstream interpretation.

Do I need aligned BAM files or raw FASTQ files for rMATS-turbo differential splicing testing?

You can use raw FASTQ files for rMATS-turbo differential splicing testing because the pipeline performs STAR 2-pass alignment first. It processes FASTQ inputs end-to-end to produce standardized outputs for reproducibility.

Why use STAR 2-pass alignment for alternative splicing quantification?

STAR 2-pass alignment is used for alternative splicing quantification to improve junction discovery and accuracy. It maps RNA-seq reads across splice junctions more comprehensively before rMATS-turbo tests for differential events.
