The inner membrane complex through development of Toxoplasma gondii and Plasmodium [PDF]

, 2014
Plasmodium spp. and Toxoplasma gondii are important human and veterinary pathogens. These parasites possess an unusual double membrane structure located directly below the plasma membrane named the inner membrane complex (IMC).

Detection and Visualization of Differential Splicing in RNA-Seq Data with JunctionSeq [PDF]

, 2015
Although RNA-Seq data provide unprecedented isoform-level expression information, detection of alternative isoform regulation (AIR) remains difficult, particularly when working with an incomplete transcript annotation. We introduce JunctionSeq, a new method that builds on the statistical techniques used by the well-established DEXSeq package to detect ...
