Peakhood: individual site context extraction for CLIP-seq peak regions
Abstract: Motivation
CLIP-seq is by far the most widely used method to determine transcriptome-wide binding sites of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). The binding site locations are identified from CLIP-seq read data by tools termed peak callers. Many RBPs bind to a spliced RNA (i.e. transcript) context, but all currently available peak callers only consider and report the genomic context. To accurately model protein binding behavior, a tool is needed for the individual context assignment to CLIP-seq peak regions.
Results
Here we present Peakhood, the first tool that utilizes CLIP-seq peak regions identified by peak callers, in tandem with CLIP-seq read information and genomic annotations, to determine which context applies, individually for each peak region. For sites assigned to transcript context, it further determines the most likely splice variant, and merges results for any number of datasets to obtain a comprehensive collection of transcript context binding sites
