18- Description: Estimate promoter activity using RNA-Seq data.
19- This package uses BAM files or junction files from Tophat2
20- or STAR and estimates promoter activity. The promoters of each
21- gene can be identified by providing a txdb object for the input
22- annotation version.
18+ Description: Most human genes have multiple promoters that control the
19+ expression of different isoforms. The use of these alternative promoters
20+ enables the regulation of isoform expression pre-transcriptionally.
21+ Alternative promoters have been found to be important in a wide number of cell
22+ types and diseases. proActiv is an R package that enables the analysis of
23+ promoters from RNA-seq data. proActiv uses aligned reads as input, and
24+ generates counts and normalized promoter activity estimates for each annotated
25+ promoter. In particular, proActiv accepts junction files from TopHat2 or STAR
26+ or BAM files as inputs. These estimates can then be used to identify which
27+ promoter is active, which promoter is inactive, and which promoters change
28+ their activity across conditions.
