A package for the analysis of the data from RNA duplex probing experiments
## About
DuplexDiscovereR is a package for analysing data from RNA cross-linking and
proximity ligation protocols such as SPLASH, PARIS, LIGR-seq and other
experimental methods that capture information about RNA-RNA interactions
as chimeric fragments after high-throughput sequencing.
It provides functions for uniform processing and visualisation of the raw chimeric
read data. The methods implemented in DuplexDiscovereR are compatible with
Bioconductor's GenomicRanges and InteractionSet classes, allowing for the
integration of RNA-RNA interaction probing results into transcriptomic
analyses.
