Solved by maximum likelihood estimation, isoform expression can be inferred in RNA-Seq using statistical models based on the assumption that sequenced reads are distributed uniformly along transcripts. Modification of the model is needed when considering situations where RNA-Seq data do not follow uniform distribution.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: We proposed two curves, the global bias curve (GBC) and the local bias curves (LBCs), to describe the non-uniformity of read distributions for all genes in a transcriptome and for each gene, respectively. Incorporating the bias curves into the uniform read distribution (URD) model, we introduced non-URD (N-URD) models to infer isoform expression levels. On a series of systematic simulation studies, the proposed models outperform the original model in recovering major isoforms and the expression ratio of alternative isoforms. We also applied the new model to real RNA-Seq datasets and found that its inferences on expression ratios of alternative isoforms are more reasonable. The experiments indicate that incorporating N-URD information can improve the accuracy in modeling and inferring isoform expression in RNA-Seq.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Contact: \u00a0zhangxg@tsinghua.edu.cn<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Supplementary information: \u00a0Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btq696","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,12,18]],"date-time":"2010-12-18T03:20:38Z","timestamp":1292642438000},"page":"502-508","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":89,"title":["Using non-uniform read distribution models to improve isoform expression inference in RNA-Seq"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Zhengpeng","family":"Wu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"MOE Key Laboratory of Bioinformatics and Bioinformatics Division, TNLIST\/Department of Automation, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China"}]},{"given":"Xi","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MOE Key Laboratory of Bioinformatics and Bioinformatics Division, TNLIST\/Department of Automation, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China"}]},{"given":"Xuegong","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MOE Key Laboratory of Bioinformatics and Bioinformatics Division, TNLIST\/Department of Automation, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,12,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023012511573529600_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"179","DOI":"10.1016\/0092-8674(95)90326-7","article-title":"Degradation of mRNA in eukaryotes","volume":"81","author":"Beelman","year":"1995","journal-title":"Cell"},{"key":"2023012511573529600_B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"163","DOI":"10.1007\/s10048-008-0124-6","article-title":"Differential expression of alpha-synuclein, parkin, and synphilin-1 isoforms in Lewy body disease","volume":"9","author":"Beyer","year":"2008","journal-title":"Neurogenetics"},{"key":"2023012511573529600_B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"325","DOI":"10.1002\/1531-8249(199909)46:3<325::AID-ANA8>3.0.CO;2-V","article-title":"Overexpression of four-repeat tau mRNA isoforms in progressive supranuclear palsy but not in Alzheimer's disease","volume":"46","author":"Chambers","year":"1999","journal-title":"Ann.
