ExCluster robustly detects differentially expressed exons between two conditions of RNA-seq data, requiring at least two independent biological replicates per condition

Recipe:

/bioconductor-excluster/meta.yaml

ExCluster flattens Ensembl and GENCODE GTF files into GFF files, which are used to count reads per non-overlapping exon bin from BAM files. This read counting is done using the function featureCounts from the package Rsubread. Library sizes are normalized across all biological replicates, and ExCluster then compares two different conditions to detect signifcantly differentially spliced genes. This process requires at least two independent biological repliates per condition, and ExCluster accepts only exactly two conditions at a time. ExCluster ultimately produces false discovery rates (FDRs) per gene, which are used to detect significance. Exon log2 fold change (log2FC) means and variances may be plotted for each significantly differentially spliced gene, which helps scientists develop hypothesis and target differential splicing events for RT-qPCR validation in the wet lab.

Additional platforms:

Installation

You need a conda-compatible package manager (currently either pixi, conda, or micromamba) and the Bioconda channel already activated (see Usage). Below, we show how to install with either pixi or conda (for micromamba and mamba, commands are essentially the same as with conda).

Pixi

With pixi installed and the Bioconda channel set up (see Usage), to install globally, run:

pixi global install bioconductor-excluster

to add into an existing workspace instead, run:

pixi add bioconductor-excluster

In the latter case, make sure to first add bioconda and conda-forge to the channels considered by the workspace:

pixi workspace channel add conda-forge
pixi workspace channel add bioconda

Conda

With conda installed and the Bioconda channel set up (see Usage), to install into an existing and activated environment, run:

conda install bioconductor-excluster

Alternatively, to install into a new environment, run:

conda create -n envname bioconductor-excluster

with envname being the name of the desired environment.

Container

Alternatively, every Bioconda package is available as a container image for usage with your preferred container runtime. For e.g. docker, run:

docker pull quay.io/biocontainers/bioconductor-excluster:<tag>

(see bioconductor-excluster/tags for valid values for <tag>).

Integrated deployment

Finally, note that many scientific workflow management systems directly integrate both conda and container based software deployment. Thus, workflow steps can be often directly annotated to use the package, leading to automatic deployment by the respective workflow management system, thereby improving reproducibility and transparency. Check the documentation of your workflow management system to find out about the integration.
