Salmon provides fast and bias-aware quantification of transcript expression

Abstract: We introduce Salmon, a method for quantifying transcript abundance from RNA-seq reads that is accurate and fast. Salmon is the first transcriptome-wide quantifier to correct for fragment GC content bias, which we demonstrate substantially improves the accuracy of abundance estimates and the reliability of subsequent differential expression analysis. Salmon combines a new dual-phase parallel inference algorithm and feature-rich bias models with an ultra-fast read mapping procedure.

“…Aligned reads showed an average mapping rate of 61%. Transcript quantification was performed using Salmon version 0.7.1 using quasimapping-based mode with automated libtype detection (56,57). TPM was computed for each gene by aggregating transcript counts and normalizing by total number of mapped reads.…”

“…Alignment of the reads to the reference was done using BWA-MEM using the same settings as applied for the variant calling. Transcripts per million values were extracted from the BWA-aligned reads using Salmon (Patro et al, 2017). Transcripts with expression levels greater than three counts in three libraries were retained.…”

“…We adopted the Salmon [20] algorithm to estimate the relative TE abundance from a given RNA-seq sample. Salmon enables a fast and accurate quantification of TE expression from RNA-seq reads with a light-weight mapping, online initial expression estimation phase, and offline inference for the estimation refinement.…”

“…Toward this end, we developed a new pipeline called SalmonTE. It deploys a low time-complexity quantification method, Salmon, 20 and contains various statistical models for TEs quantification. Moreover, SalmonTE provides a rich set of built-in functions for data pre-processing from raw FASTQ files.…”
