#regtools

Tools that integrate DNA-seq and RNA-seq data to help interpret mutations in a regulatory and splicing context.

##Features

• Identify evidence for aberrant splicing in RNA reads near a list of variants.
• Extract exon-exon junctions from a RNAseq BAM file.
• Annotate exon-exon junctions with information from a known transcriptome.
• Annotate variants with splice-region(the definition of this region is configurable) annotations.

##Installation

Clone and install regtools by running:

    git clone https://github.com/griffithlab/regtools
    cd regtools/
    mkdir build
    cd build/
    cmake ..
    make

##Usage:

    regtools --help
