Ideas to Life! Whole Transcriptome Data Analysis

Ideas to Life! Deliverables   A lignment Report -A summary of the mapping results, including score distribution.   Filter report (Optional)   Score distribution plots   MAX file -A MAX file contains all the reads that map to genomic reference. Does not include mapping to splice junctions.   General Feature Format (GFF) file -A GFF file containing all the reads that were mapped uniquely, including those mapped to splice junctions.   Counts file-A file in GFF format, containing information regarding the number of reads hitting the corresponding region (Figure 2).   Annotation wig file-Coverage file in wiggle format for regions contained in the annotation file, one for each genomic region (chromosome)  -- Predicted Transcribed Region (PTR) GFF files -- Optimization plots-These plots are used in selecting the optimal parameters for detecting Novel Transcribed Regions (NTR).  -- Annotated Transcribed Regions (ATR) plots 
