strandCheckR

Calculate strandness information of a bam file

Bioconductor version: 3.24 · Package version: 1.31.0

Other Bioconductor versions

devel is the development version; release is the current stable one.

3.24 (devel), 3.23 (release)

This package aims to quantify and remove putative double strand DNA from a strand-specific RNA sample. There are also options and methods to plot the positive/negative proportions of all sliding windows, which allow users to have an idea of how much the sample was contaminated and the appropriate threshold to be used for filtering.
