Automatic correspondence of tags and genes (ACTG): a tool for the analysis of SAGE, MPSS and SBS data

Abstract

Summary: A critical step in any SAGE, MPSS and SBS data analysis is tag-to-gene assignment. Current available tools are limited by a tag-by-tag annotation process and/or do not provide the dataset that is used to produce a complete tag-to-gene mapping. We developed ACTG, a web-based application that allows a large-scale tag-to-gene mapping using several reference datasets. ACTG can annotate SAGE (14 or 21 bp), MPSS (17 or 20 bp) and SBS (16 bp) data for both human and mouse organisms.
