RNAdetector- New Tool for RNA-Seq Data Analysis

In this article, we discuss a new tool that is developed for RNA-Seq data analysis. A new tool called RNAdetector [1] is developed for RNA-Seq data analysis.

RNAdetector is a user-friendly stand-alone tool and a cloud-based platform that helps in RNA-Seq data analysis. It provides an easy-to-use graphical user interface that helps in analyzing coding and non-coding RNAs from RNA datasets.

RNAdetector is a comprehensive pipeline that allows mRNAs and ncRNAs analysis including several classes of humans, C.elegans, and mice [1]. They are stored in a remote repository of RNAdetector that can be easily downloaded from the user interface. Besides, users can perform downstream analysis and miRNA-sensitive topological pathway analysis.

RNAdetector is available as a Docker container for its easy installation. It is cross-platform and requires input files such as FASTQ, SAM, or BAM files. RNAdetector is freely available to download from https://rnadetector.atlas.dmi.unict.it/download.html. The source code is available on GitHub and the documentation can be found at https://github.com/alessandrolaferlita/RNAdetector/wiki/Requirements-and-Setup.
