Description

RingMapper & PairMapper automate the detection of correlated modifcation events in mutational profiling (MaP) experiments.

RingMapper is a flexible code for computing correlations (RINGs) between all nucleotides in an RNA. Users can choose to compute correlations between single nucleotides (window=1; default) or between larger nucleotide windows (e.g. window=3, which tests whether 3-nt windows are correlated with each other). Run ringmapper.py with the --help flag for options.

PairMapper is a wrapper for RingMapper that performs PAIR-MaP analysis, i.e. it searches for correlations indicative of secondary structure base pairs. Correlation calculations are done using a 3-nt window and then filtered by nt complementarity and reactivity. Run pairmapper.py with the --help flag for options.

Both RingMapper and PairMapper require read alignment and preprocessing by ShapeMapper2 using the --output-parsed flag. See the ShapeMapper2 documentation for further information regarding alignment and processing options.

RING and PAIR-MaP data can be visualized using the arcPlot plotting tool.
