Abstract

In this paper, we look into the correction on the ambiguities in the conversion between genome-based coordinates and RNA-based coordinates. An improved algorithm for estimating the distribution of RNA-related genomic features is proposed based on our previous article, 'Guitar: An R/Bioconductor Package for Gene Annotation Guided Transcriptomic Analysis of RNA-Related Genomic Features'. It applies Expectation Maximization algorithm to estimate RNA-related genomic features using iterations. After each iteration, the proportion of the real distribution coordinates is increased, and the result is closer to the real distribution, demonstrating validity and effectiveness of our proposed method.
