Corset is a command-line software program to go from a de novo transcriptome assembly to gene-level counts. Our software takes a set of reads that have been multi-mapped to the transcriptome (where multiple alignments per read were reported) and hierarchically clusters the transcripts based on the proportion of shared reads and expression patterns. It will report the clusters and gene-level counts for each sample, which are easily tested for differential expression with count based tools such as edgeR and DESeq.

• Download Corset

• Instruction for installation and usage can be found here.

• A full example pipeline to go from RNA-Seq reads to differential gene expression results on non-model organisms is also provided here.

• Questions should be posted to our google group
