Alterlab Rnaseq Quant

alterlab-ieu/alterlab-rnaseq-quant

Quantifies bulk RNA-seq transcript abundance with salmon (v1.11.4 selective alignment) and kallisto (v0.52.0, kb-python workflow), builds a decoy-aware gentrome index, runs quant with --validateMappings --gcBias -l A, then imports estimates via tximport/tximeta with a tx2gene map and hands differential expression to alterlab-pydeseq2. Warns that salmon's index format changed to SSHash (rebuild pre-v1.11.2 indices) and that 'salmon alevin' was REMOVED (single-cell now uses piscem + alevin-fry). Use when quantifying RNA-seq transcript abundance, running salmon or kallisto, building a decoy-aware index, or wiring tximport to DESeq2; for differential expression use alterlab-pydeseq2, for FASTQ-to-VCF variant calling use alterlab-nf-core-sarek. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
