Ribotools

Introduction

Ribotools is a toolbox for the analysis of matched ribosome profiling (Ribo-seq) and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data. Ribotools can be used in standalone mode or in combination with Rp-Bp for Ribo-seq quality control, open reading frames (ORFs) discovery, translation efficiency (TE), and differential expression (DE) analyses.

Ribotools uses Rp-Bp for periodicity estimation and follows the same alignment workflow, directory structure, and naming convention. It uses HTSeq for abundance estimation and DESeq2 for statistical testing.
