EM based transcript abundance from nanopore reads mapped to a transcriptome with minimap2 Python package adapted from https://github.com/jts/nanopore-rna-analysis by Jared Simpson
NanoCount estimates transcript abundance from ONT direct-RNA Sequencing reads mapped to a transcriptome. It uses an expectation-maximization approach like RSEM, Kallisto, salmon, etc to handle multi-mapping reads. The reads must be mapped to the transcript set using minimap2.

- Licence: MIT
- Python version: 3.5 +
Ideally, before installation, create a clean python3 virtual environment to deploy the package, using virtualenvwrapper for example (see http://www.simononsoftware.com/virtualenv-tutorial-part-2/).
pip3 install git+https://github.com/a-slide/NanoCount.gitpip3 install git+https://github.com/a-slide/NanoCountbash.git --upgradeusage: NanoCount [-h][--version] -i ALIGNMENT_FILE -o COUNT_FILE
[--min_read_length MIN_READ_LENGTH]
[--min_query_fraction_aligned MIN_QUERY_FRACTION_ALIGNED]
[--equivalent_threshold EQUIVALENT_THRESHOLD]
[--scoring_value SCORING_VALUE]
[--convergence_target CONVERGENCE_TARGET] [--verbose]
Calculate transcript abundance for a dRNA-Seq dataset from a BAM/SAM alignment file generated by minimap2
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--version, -v show program's version number and exit
-i ALIGNMENT_FILE, --alignment_file ALIGNMENT_FILE
BAM or SAM file containing aligned ONT dRNA-Seq reads including secondary and supplementary alignment
-o COUNT_FILE, --count_file COUNT_FILE
Output count file
--min_read_length MIN_READ_LENGTH
Minimal length of the read to be considered valid
--min_query_fraction_aligned MIN_QUERY_FRACTION_ALIGNED
Minimal fraction of the primary hit query aligned to consider the read valid
--equivalent_threshold EQUIVALENT_THRESHOLD
Fraction of the alignment score or the alignment
length of secondary hits compared to the primary hit to be considered valid hits
--scoring_value SCORING_VALUE
Value to use for score thresholding of secondary hits. Either alignment_score or alignment_length
--convergence_target CONVERGENCE_TARGET
Convergence target value of the cummulative difference between abundance values of successive EM round to trigger the end of the EM loop
--verbose If True will be chatty

The same options as for the command line are available, but it allows to use the package as an API and access more internal information
