  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Motivation</jats:title> <jats:p>Strand-seq is a specialized single-cell DNA sequencing technique centered around the directionality of single-stranded DNA. Computational tools for Strand-seq analyses must capture the strand-specific information embedded in these data.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Results</jats:title> <jats:p>Here we introduce breakpointR, an R/Bioconductor package specifically tailored to process and interpret single-cell strand-specific sequencing data obtained from Strand-seq. We developed breakpointR to detect local changes in strand directionality of aligned Strand-seq data, to enable fine-mapping of sister chromatid exchanges, germline inversion and to support global haplotype assembly. Given the broad spectrum of Strand-seq applications we expect breakpointR to be an important addition to currently available tools and extend the accessibility of this novel sequencing technique.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Availability and implementation</jats:title> <jats:p>R/Bioconductor package https://bioconductor.org/packages/breakpointR.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Supplementary information</jats:title> <jats:p>Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.</jats:p> </jats:sec>
