Recently, exitron splicing has been shown to increase proteome plasticity and play a role in cancer. Long-read RNA-seq is well suited for quantification and discovery of alternative splicing events; however, there are currently no tools available for the detection and annotation of exitrons in long-read RNA-seq data. Here, we present ScanExitronLR, an application for the characterization and quantification of exitron splicing events in long-reads. From a BAM alignment file, reference genome and reference gene annotation, ScanExitronLR outputs exitron events at the individual transcript level. Outputs of ScanExitronLR can be used in downstream analyses of differential exitron splicing. In addition, ScanExitronLR optionally reports exitron annotations such as truncation or frameshift type, nonsense-mediated decay status and Pfam domain interruptions. We demonstrate that ScanExitronLR performs better on noisy long-reads than currently published exitron detection algorithms designed for short-read data.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Availability and implementation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>ScanExitronLR is freely available at https:\/\/github.com\/ylab-hi\/ScanExitronLR and distributed as a pip package on the Python Package Index.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Supplementary information<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btac626","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,12]],"date-time":"2022-09-12T16:14:52Z","timestamp":1662999292000},"page":"4966-4968","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["ScanExitronLR: characterization and quantification of exitron splicing events in long-read RNA-seq data"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"38","author":[{"given":"Joshua","family":"Fry","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine , Chicago, IL 60611, USA"},{"name":"Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Program, University of Minnesota , Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yangyang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine , Chicago, IL 60611, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9512-2240","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rendong","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine , Chicago, IL 60611, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"2022103112490380400_btac626-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1548","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms20071548","article-title":"Identification, characterization, and regulatory mechanisms of a novel EGR1 splicing isoform","volume":"20","author":"Aliperti","year":"2019","journal-title":"Int.
