General Usage

TopHat is a fast splice junction mapper for RNA-Seq reads. It aligns RNA-Seq reads to mammalian-sized genomes using the ultra high-throughput short read aligner Bowtie, and then analyzes the mapping results to identify splice junctions between exons.

NOTE: This software package is DEPRECATED Please migrate to the 'hisat2' tool, also from JHU CCB, which provides the same core functionality in a more accurate and efficient manner.
