CRAC


RNA-Seq read analysis

CRAC proposes a novel way of analyzing reads that integrates genomic locations and local coverage, and delivers all above mentioned predictions in a single step. CRAC uses a double k-mer profiling approach to detect candidate mutations, indels, splice or fusion junctions in each single read.

CRAC is released under a CECiLL licence (a GPL-compliant licence).

CRAC relies on a read indexing approach, that is available independently from CRAC. This index, called Gk-arrays, can also be downloaded for being used with other software tools.
