RSEM

RSEM

RSEM (RNA-Seq by Expectation-Maximization) is a tool for the quantification of RNA-seq data. The RSEM algorithm uses the expectation-maximization technique, it can operate with and without a reference, and reports transcripts per million mapped reads (TPM). RSEM scales linearly with the amount of alignment quantity and uses The Bowtie tool for the read alignments.
