OutSplice
github.com/guolabucsd/outspliceAn easy to use tool that can compare splicing events in tumor and normal tissue samples using either a user generated matrix, or data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). This package generates a matrix of splicing outliers that are significantly over or underexpressed in tumors samples compared to normal denoted by chromosome location. The package also will calculate the splicing burden in each tumor and characterize the types of splicing events that occur.

BANDITS is a Bayesian hierarchical model for detecting differential splicing of genes and transcripts, via differential transcript usage (DTU), between two or more conditions. The method uses a Bayesian hierarchical framework, which allows for sample specific proportions in a Dirichlet-Multinomial model, and samples the allocation of fragments to the transcripts. Parameters are inferred via Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques and a DTU test is performed via a multivariate Wald test on the posterior densities for the average relative abundance of transcripts.
pairedGSEA makes it simple to run a paired Differential Gene Expression (DGE) and Differencital Gene Splicing (DGS) analysis. The package allows you to store intermediate results for further investiation, if desired. pairedGSEA comes with a wrapper function for running an Over-Representation Analysis (ORA) and functionalities for plotting the results.
saseR is a highly performant and fast framework for aberrant expression and splicing analyses. The main functions are: \itemize{ \item \code{\link{BamtoAspliCounts}} - Process BAM files to ASpli counts \item \code{\link{convertASpli}} - Get gene, bin or junction counts from ASpli SummarizedExperiment \item \code{\link{calculateOffsets}} - Create an offsets assays for aberrant expression or splicing analysis \item \code{\link{saseRfindEncodingDim}} - Estimate the optimal number of latent factors to include when estimating the mean expression \item \code{\link{saseRfit}} - Parameter estimation of the negative binomial distribution and compute p-values for aberrant expression and splicing } For information upon how to use these functions, check out our vignette at \url{https://github.com/statOmics/saseR/blob/main/vignettes/Vignette.Rmd} and the saseR paper: Segers, A. et al.

Provides an interface to several normalization and statistical testing packages for RNA-Seq gene expression data. Additionally, it creates several diagnostic plots, performs meta-analysis by combinining the results of several statistical tests and reports the results in an interactive way.
