RNA-Seq Analysis for Long Reads output
Output options are specified in the dialog shown in figure 33.52.
Figure 33.52: The output options for RNA-Seq using long reads.
The main results of the RNA-Seq analysis are Expression Tracks. A track with a name ending with (GE) summarizes expression at the gene level. If the "Genome annotated with genes and transcripts" option was selected, a second track, with a name ending in (TE), is produced, which summarizes expression at the transcript level.
In addition, the following outputs are available:
- Create reads track. This track contains the mapping of the reads to the references.
- Create report. A summary report.
- Create list of unmapped reads. This list is made of reads that did not map to the reference, or that were non-specific matches with more placements than specified.
Expression tracks
Expression tracks can be shown in a Table (
) and a Track (
) view.
The expression track table view has the following options (figure 33.53).
- The "Filter to selection" only displays pre-selected rows in the table.
- The "Create track from Selection" will create a new Track with the selected rows.
- The "Select Genes/Transcripts in Other Views" button finds and selects the currently selected genes or transcripts in all other open expression track table views.
- The "Copy Gene/Transcript Names to Clipboard" button copies the currently selected gene or transcript names to the clipboard.

For detailed information on expression tracks, see Expression tracks.
RNA-Seq reads track
A track containing the mapped reads can be generated by the tool if the option to do so is enabled. The graphical view of the mapped reads can be shown together with the expression tracks in a Track list. For additional information on this output, see RNA-Seq reads track.

An example of first part of the RNA-Seq report is shown in figure 33.54.
