SpliceWiz

interactive analysis and visualization of alternative splicing in R


Bioconductor version: Release (3.19)

The analysis and visualization of alternative splicing (AS) events from RNA sequencing data remains challenging. SpliceWiz is a user-friendly and performance-optimized R package for AS analysis, by processing alignment BAM files to quantify read counts across splice junctions, IRFinder-based intron retention quantitation, and supports novel splicing event identification. We introduce a novel visualization for AS using normalized coverage, thereby allowing visualization of differential AS across conditions. SpliceWiz features a shiny-based GUI facilitating interactive data exploration of results including gene ontology enrichment. It is performance optimized with multi-threaded processing of BAM files and a new COV file format for fast recall of sequencing coverage. Overall, SpliceWiz streamlines AS analysis, enabling reliable identification of functionally relevant AS events for further characterization.
