This package provides an R wrapper around the popular bowtie short read aligner and around SpliceMap, a de novo splice junction discovery and alignment tool.The package is used by the QuasR
bioconductor package. We recommend to use the QuasR
package instead of using Rbowtie directly. The QuasR
package provides a simpler interface then Rbowtie and covers the whole analysis workflow of typical ultra-high throughput sequencing experiments, starting from the raw sequence reads, over pre-processing and alignment, up to quantification.
