Spats processes reads and calculates SHAPE reactivities for SHAPE-Seq
experiments on multiple RNAs. It accepts raw paired-end sequencing reads in FASTQ format, and a target
sequence file containing the sequences of RNAs present in the experimental pool. Spats then performs
read alignment to calculate distributions of read ends in the SHAPE (+) and (-) channel for each
nucleotide in each RNA. Spats then estimates nucleotide resolution SHAPE reactivities for each RNA,
using a model-driven maximum likelihood procedure based on a model of the reverse transcriptase
process used in the SHAPE-Seq experiment.
Spats is a collaborative effort between the
Aviran Lab at UC Davis, the Pachter Lab at UC Berkeley, the
Trapnell Lab
at the University of Washington, and
the Lucks Lab
at Northwestern University. Spats is provided under the OSI-approved Boost License. fastx_spats_toolkit_v_0.1.0 is provided under the AGPLv3 License. |
