Cross-mappability_Modified for Rat genome

Cross-mappability from gene A to gene B, crossmap(A,B), is defined as the number of gene A's k-mers (75-mers from exons and 36-mers from UTRs) whose alignment start within exonic or untranslated regions of gene B. Cross-mappability has been described in the following paper.

Saha A, Battle A. 2018. False positives in trans-eQTL and co-expression analyses arising from RNA-sequencing alignment error.

How to compute cross-mappability

  • These check pre-requisites before computing cross-mappabilities from the prerequisites page.
  • Compute cross-mappabilites genome-wide following instructions step by step from this page.

Download pre-computed cross-mappability
