# gDNAx: Diagnostics for assessing genomic DNA contamination in RNA-seq data
The `gDNAx` package calculates and plots different diagnostics related to gDNA
contamination levels, such as strandedness and proportion of intergenic reads,
intronic reads, splice compatible exonic reads and splice compatible junction
reads. Moreover, the package is able to identify the strand library type in
stranded RNA-seq data.
## Installation
You can install the `gDNAx` package from this GitHub repo using
the [remotes](https://cran.r-project.org/package=remotes) package, as follows:
```
library(remotes)
install_github("functionalgenomics/gDNAx")
```
Provided that you have installed first all its Bioconductor dependencies;
see the `DESCRIPTION` file. The vignette contains an example on how to use it.
