Differential analyses for RNA-seq: transcript-level estimates improve gene-level inferences

Explore this paper's citation graph

Summary

It is shown that gene-level abundance estimates and statistical inference offer advantages over transcript-level analyses, in terms of performance and interpretability, and an R package is provided to help users integrate transcript-level abundance estimates from common quantification pipelines into count-based statistical inference engines.
