Résumé
Although nascent RNA profiling data are widely used in transcriptional regulation studies, the development and standardization of data processing pipeline lags far behind RNA-seq. We are filling this gap by establishing the nASAP web server (https://grobase.top/nasap/) to provide practical quality evaluation and comprehensive analysis of nascent RNA datasets. In nASAP, four customized analysis modules are provided, including i) quality assessment, which summarizes the sequencing statistics, mapping ratio, and evaluates RNA integrity and mRNA contamination; ii) quantification analysis for mRNAs, lncRNAs and eRNAs; iii) pausing analysis across the whole genome based on sequencing reads distribution; and iv) network analysis to better understand the gene regulatory mechanism by obtaining annotated enhancer-promoter interactomes. The nASAP is user-friendly and outperforms the existing pipeline for quality control of nascent RNA profiling data. We anticipate that nASAP, which eases both basic and advanced analysis of nascent RNA data, will be extremely useful in various fields.
