Sample output files for tximport

This data package provides a set of output files from running a number of various transcript abundance quantifiers on 6 samples from the GEUVADIS Project. The files are contained in the inst/extdata directory.

A citation for the GEUVADIS Project is:

Lappalainen, et al., “Transcriptome and genome sequencing uncovers functional variation in humans”, Nature 501, 506-511 (26 September 2013) doi:10.1038/nature12531.

The purpose of this vignette is to detail which versions of software were run, and exactly what calls were made.

Sample information and quantification files

A small file, samples.txt is included in the inst/extdata directory:

dir <- system.file("extdata", package="tximportData")
samples <- read.table(file.path(dir,"samples.txt"), header=TRUE)

Genome and gene annotation file

Illumina iGenomes: The human genome and annotations were downloaded from Illumina iGenomes for the UCSC hg19 version. The human genome FASTA file used was in the Sequence/WholeGenomeFasta directory and the gene annotation GTF file used was the genes.gtf file in the Annotation/Genes directory. This GTF file contains RefSeq transcript IDs and UCSC gene names. The Annotation directory contained a README.txt file with the text:

The contents of the annotation directories were downloaded from UCSC on: June 02, 2014.

The genes.gtf file was filtered to include only chromosomes 1-22, X, Y, and M.
