Overview

QCumber is a set of R tools for quantification of allele-specific expression. It relies on two or more technical replicate RNA-seq libraries to calculate Quality Correction Constant (QCC) and use it to correct for allelic imbalance overdipserion. QCumber analysis starts with a table of allelic counts per gene, calculated from RNA-seq data using any analysis pipeline such as ASEReadCounter*.
