NAME

normalize_multicov.pl - Compute normalized expression data from read counts

SYNOPSIS

normalize_multicov.pl [-i FILE] [--readlength INT] [options]

DESCRIPTION

This program computes normalized expression values in Transcript per Million (TPM) from read counts. The latter must be provided in the format produced by the 'bedtools multicov' utility, i.e. an extended BED12 file where each colum past the 12th lists read counts for one sample/condition.

OPTIONS

-i

Input file in 'bedtools multicov' output format, i.e. an extended BED12 file where each colum past the 12th lists the read counts for one sample/condition.

--readlength -r

Read length of the RNA-seq experiment.

--out -o

Output folder.

--help -h

Print short help

--man

Prints the manual page and exits
