-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- README : EXPRESS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- eXpress is a streaming DNA/RNA sequence quantification tool. It has initially been tested for RNA-Seq transcriptome quantification but can be used in any application where abundances of target sequences need to be estimated from short reads sequenced from them. More details, installation instructions, and the manual can be found at http://bio.math.berkeley.edu/eXpress/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I. Authors: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The methods and algorithms used in eXpress were developed by Adam Roberts and Lior Pachter. Adam Roberts designed and wrote eXpress. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- II. Requirements: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- eXpress is a standalone tool that requires gcc 4.0 or greater, and runs on Linux Macintosh OS X, and Windows. It depends on Boost (http://www.boost.org), BamTools (https://github.com/pezmaster31/bamtools), ZLIB (http://zlib.net/), and the Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library (Windows only) (http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=5555). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- III. Learn More (Installation, Manual, etc.): -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Installation steps, tutorial, manual, documentation, etc. are all available through the eXpress website: http://bio.math.berkeley.edu/eXpress/ Join the user group and mailing list to stay informed of updates and announcements: http://groups.google.com/group/express-users -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IV.
