Description

TranscriptionDetector is a tool for finding probes that measures significantly expressed loci in a genomic array experiment. Given expression data from a tiling array experiment, TranscriptionDetector decides the likelihood that a probe is detecting transcription from the locus in which it resides. Probabilities are assigned by making use of a background signal intensity distribution from a set of negative control probes. This tool is useful for the functional annotation of genomes as it allows for the discovery of novel transcriptional units independently of any genomic annotation.
