APA-Scan detects the potential Alternative Polyadenylation (APA) events in the downstream 3'-UTR of a gene among two different biological conditions.
APA-Scan is a python tool which can be downloaded directly from github. Python (version 3.0 or higher) is required to be installed on users machine to run APA-Scan. It can work on Windows, Linux and Mac platform.
Users need to run the specific file APA-scan.py to demonstrate the APA events.
$python3 APA-scan.py
To generate plots for any selected 3'-UTR region, users need to run makePlots.py and provide input in a specific pattern: chromName:geneName:start-end
$python3 Make-plots.py
User manual for APA-Scan is available on github https://github.com/compbiolabucf/APA-Scan/blob/master/APA-Scan%20User%20Manual.pdf
