RGASP papers online

Monday, November 11th, 2013

The RGASP papers are now out, back-to-back:
http://www.nature.com/nmeth/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nmeth.2722.html http://www.nature.com/nmeth/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nmeth.2714.html A tour de force.
.@markgerstein Both #rnaseq #RGASP papers list the “RGASP Consortium” as an author. But this comprises different people in the 2 papers!

Some notes from a senior author:

* Due to space constraints unfortunately most of the results are in the supplemental data.

* If it is helpful for testing updates to programs, or to compare the results against future methods not yet considered, the analysis code from each study is on GitHub: https://github.com/RGASP-Consortium.

* The papers are not open access, unfortunately.
