Cufflinks

Cufflinks

Cufflinks consist of a suite of tools for differential gene expression analysis of RNA-seq data. It assembles aligned reads in a set of transcripts and estimates the relative abundances. The Cufflinks suite consists of the following tools: cufflinks, cuffcompare, cuffmerge, cuffquant, cuffdiff, and cuffnorm.
