Annotation-agnostic differential expression analysis of RNA-seq data at
base-pair resolution via the DER Finder approach. This package contains
two different implementations of this approach. The first one is the
single base-level F-statistics implementation and the second one is via
identifying expressed regions. For more information about `derfinder`
check the vignettes
[here](http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/derfinder).
## Documentation
For more information about `derfinder` check the vignettes [through
Bioconductor](http://bioconductor.org/packages/derfinder) or at the
[documentation website](http://lcolladotor.github.io/derfinder).
## Further documentation
You can generate HTML reports from the results using **regionReport**
available [here](https://github.com/lcolladotor/regionReport).
## Installation instructions
Get the latest stable `R` release from
[CRAN](http://cran.r-project.org/). Then install `derfinder` from
[Bioconductor](http://bioconductor.org/) using the following code:
``` r
if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE)) {
install.packages("BiocManager")
}
BiocManager::install("derfinder")
```
## Citation
Below is the citation output from using `citation('derfinder')` in R.
Please run this yourself to check for any updates on how to cite
**derfinder**.

Please note that the `derfinder` was only made possible thanks to many
other R and bioinformatics software authors, which are cited either in
the vignettes and/or the paper(s) describing this package.
## DER Finder versions
- The original implementation of the DER Finder approach as published in
Frazee et al, Biostatistics 2014 is available via GitHub at
[derfinder](https://github.com/leekgroup/derfinder).
- The version implementing the single base-level approach via
calculating F-stastics as described in the pre-print Collado-Torres et
al, Nucleic Acids Research 2017 is available via Bioconductor at
[derfinder](http://bioconductor.org/packages/derfinder). The same
package has the functions required for the expressed regions-level
approach.
