Title (English)

basicASE: an R-statistics package to detect significant allelic imbalance in RNA-seq data

Title (Swedish)

Abstract

Investigation of allelic imbalance expression QTLs (aeQTLs) in RNA-seq data can increase the accuracy in the hunt for candidate genes susceptible as drug targets. The Bioconductor project has recently developed research tools to handle the massive amounts of data that come with next generation sequencing. The basicASE package has been developed to carry out aeQTL analyses in that environment. Many technical issues concerning a user friendly import, statistical testing and visualization of data are facilitated through the package, which also has a central design to accommodate integration of new functions and development.
