<h4>Summary</h4>We present 'Threshold-seq,' a new approach for determining thresholds in deep-sequencing datasets of short RNA transcripts. Threshold-seq addresses the critical question of how many reads need to support a short RNA molecule in a given dataset before it can be considered different from 'background.' The proposed scheme is easy to implement and incorporate into existing pipelines.<h4>Availability and implementation</h4>Source code of Threshold-seq is freely available as an R packa ...[more]
