Abstract
Insertions and deletions (indels) are primarily detected from DNA sequencing (DNA-seq) data, but their transcriptional consequences remain unexplored due to challenges in distinguishing medium- and large-sized indels from RNA splicing events in RNA-seq data. We introduce transIndel, a splice-aware algorithm that parses the chimeric alignments predicted by a short read aligner and reconstructs the mid-sized insertions and large deletions based on the linear alignments of split reads from DNA-seq or RNA-seq data. Here, we describe the method and provide a tutorial on the installation and application of transIndel.
