CleaveLand
CleaveLand is a command-line executed pipeline for finding cleaved small RNA targets using degradome data (also known as PARE [parallel analysis of RNA ends] and GMUCT [genome-wide mapping of uncapped transcripts]).  Provided with a set of degradome data, a list of small RNA queries, a reference transcriptome/mRNA set, CleaveLand outputs potentially cleaved small RNA targets along with other supporting information.

Sample Input Data :: To test an installation and to demonstrate file formatting conventions, we provide the file TestData.tar.gz, which is a short batch of Arabidopsis thaliana degradome data, two miRNA queries, and a set of A. thaliana rRNAs (for filtering purposes).  NOTE:  A copy of A. thaliana transcripts needs to be also obtained for testing with these sample data! (NOT provided within TestData.tar.gz ! -- see the link below).
