CIRCexplorer2 is the successor of CIRCexplorer with plenty of new features to facilitate circular RNA identification and characterization.
- Precisely annotate circular RNAs with high accuracy, good sensitivity and low memory consumption
- Support multiple circular RNA aligners (TopHat2/TopHat-Fusion, STAR, MapSplice, BWA and segemehl)
- De novo assemble novel circular RNA transcripts
- Characterize various of alternative splicing events of circular RNAs
- Fast identify circuar RNAs with STAR or BWA
- Support both single-read and paired-end sequencing.
CIRCexplorer2 documentation is available through https://readthedocs.org/ from here, including installation instructions and tutorial.
