kallisto

kallisto

A tool to quantify RNA-seq data. The kallisto algorithm uses a pseudo alignment approach to speed up the alignment procedure. The "pseudo alignment" approach can quantify reads without making actual alignments. Kallisto can handle paired-end and single-end reads. It reports transcripts per million mapped reads (TPM).
