Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) has become a popular tool for transcriptome profiling in mammals. However, accurate estimation of allele-specific expression (ASE) based on alignments of reads to the reference genome is challenging, because it contains only one allele on a mosaic haploid genome. Even with the information of diploid genome sequences, precise alignment of reads to the correct allele is...
