Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the square domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

Portcullis stands for PORTable CULLing of Invalid Splice junctions from pre-aligned RNA-seq data. It is known that RNAseq mapping tools generate many invalid junction predictions, particularly in deep datasets with high coverage over splice sites. In order to address this, instead for creating a new RNAseq mapper, with a focus on SJ accuracy we created a tool that takes in a BAM file generated by an RNAseq mapper of the user’s own choice (e.g. Tophat2, Gsnap, STAR2 or HISAT2) as input (i.e. it’s portable). It then, analyses and quantifies all splice junctions in the file before, filtering (culling) those which are unlikely to be genuine. Portcullis output’s junctions in a variety of formats making it suitable for downstream analysis (such as differential splicing analysis and gene modelling) without additional work.
