  • NORA: A tool for transcript quantification where accuracy matters

    NORA: Accuracy approximates RSEM+bowtie2 with the speed of Kallisto and Salmon

    Introduction

    We introduce Nora, a tool for transcript quantification where accuracy matters. Nora is much more accurate than Hera, an algorithm that we released last year (Hera obtained the best ranking in the latest round of SMC-RNA DREAM challenge). Nora also outputs accurate read alignments in bam format, while time and memory consumption is similar to pseudo-alignment approaches’.

    Nora source code is written in C using the linux kernel coding style . The compiled package is tiny: 262 KB, and can be installed on most macOS and linux distributions without dependencies. For now, Nora’s binary package is not yet released for public. To use Nora, you need to get an invitation.

    Benchmark Data

    We benchmarked Nora and other transcript quantification tools (Hera, Kallisto, Salmon, RSEM+Bowtie2) using 20 simulated data sets generated from Kallisto paper (using this script), and the most recent benchmark data from SMC-RNA DREAM challenge.

    Benchmark Results

    Please visit the homepage of Nora for full of the benchmark tables. https://bioturing.com/nora

    Try Nora

    Nora will soon be available for both Linux and Mac in a command line interface, a lite app version, a workstation platform, and a cloud application. If you are interested in Nora and want to give it a try, just let us know through [email protected].

    Thank you!

          Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
          by seqadmin


          Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
