In EventPointer: An effective identification of alternative splicing events using junction arrays and RNA-Seq data

EventPointer

EventPointer is an R package to identify alternative splicing events that involve either simple (case-control experiment) or complex experimental designs such as time course experiments and studies including paired-samples. The algorithm can be used to analyze data from either junction arrays (Affymetrix Arrays) or sequencing data (RNA-Seq). The software returns a data.frame with the detected alternative splicing events: gene name, type of event (cassette, alternative 3',...,etc), genomic position, statistical significance and increment of the percent spliced in (Delta PSI) for all the events. The algorithm can generate a series of files to visualize the detected alternative splicing events in IGV. This eases the interpretation of results and the design of primers for standard PCR validation.

Installation

EventPointer can be installed from Bioconductor using the BiocManager package:

```{r, eval=FALSE} if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly=TRUE)) install.packages("BiocManager")

library(BiocManager)

BiocManager::install("EventPointer") ```
