Local sequence and sequencing depth dependent accuracy of RNA-seq reads

Abstract Background Many biases and spurious effects are inherent in RNA-seq technology, resulting in a non-uniform distribution of sequencing read counts for each base position in a gene. Therefore, a base-level strategy is required to model the non-uniformity. Also, the properties of sequencing re...
