Trips-Viz: a transcriptome browser for exploring Ribo-Seq data

Abstract Ribosome profiling (Ribo-Seq) is a technique that allows for the isolation and sequencing of mRNA fragments protected from nuclease digestion by actively translating ribosomes. Mapping these ribosome footprints to a genome or transcriptome generates quantitative information on translated regions. To provide access to publicly available ribosome profiling data in the context of transcriptomes we developed Trips-Viz (transcriptome-wide information on protein synthesis-visualized). Trips-Viz provides a large range of graphical tools for exploring global properties of translatomes and of individual transcripts. It enables analysis of aligned footprints to evaluate datasets quality, differential gene expression detection, visual identification of upstream ORFs and alternative proteoforms. Trips-Viz is available at https://trips.ucc.ie.
