Swan
Swan is a Python library designed for the analysis and visualization of transcriptomes, especially with long-read transcriptomes in mind. Users can add transcriptomes from different datasets and explore distinct splicing and expression patterns across datasets.
Please visit the Swan repository to download and view the source code
Also see the Swan manuscript repository for the exact commands used to do the analysis in our publication.
Also see our website for in-depth tutorials and documentation
What can Swan do?
Swan can make informative plots, find differentially expressed genes and transcripts, find isoform-switching genes, and discover novel exon skipping and intron retention events.
Installation
Swan can be installed directly from PyPi. To install Swan's most recent release, run
pip install swan_vis
Alternatively, the most recent commits can be installed by git cloning the Swan repository, moving to the swan_vis directory, and running
pip install .
