Distinguishing circular RNA reads from reads derived from the linear host transcript is a challenging task because of sequence overlap. We developed a computational approach, CiLiQuant, that determines the relative circular and linear abundance of transcripts and gene loci using back-splice and unambiguous forward-splice junction reads generated by existing mapping and circular RNA discovery tools.
由于序列重叠,区分环状RNA reads与来自线性宿主转录本的reads是一项具有挑战性的任务。我们开发了一种计算方法CiLiQuant,它使用现有映射和环状RNA发现工具生成的反向剪接和明确的正向剪接连接reads来确定转录本和基因座的相对环状和线性丰度。
