-#### a) Generating a Wiggle file
+#### a) Converting transcript BAM file into genome BAM file
+
+Normally, RSEM will do this for you via '--output-genome-bam' option
+of 'rsem-calculate-expression'. However, if you have run
+'rsem-prepare-reference' and use 'reference_name.idx.fa' to build
+indices for your aligner, you can use 'rsem-tbam2gbam' to convert your
+transcript coordinate BAM alignments file into a genomic coordinate
+BAM alignments file without the need to run the whole RSEM
+pipeline. Please note that 'rsem-prepare-reference' will convert all
+'N' into 'G' by default for 'reference_name.idx.fa'. If you do not
+want this to happen, please use '--no-ntog' option.
+
+Usage:
+
+ rsem-tbam2gbam reference_name unsorted_transcript_bam_input genome_bam_output
+
+reference_name : The name of reference built by 'rsem-prepare-reference'
+unsorted_transcript_bam_input : This file should satisfy: 1) the alignments of a same read are grouped together, 2) for any paired-end alignment, the two mates should be adjacent to each other, 3) this file should not be sorted by samtools
+genome_bam_output : The output genomic coordinate BAM file's name
+
+#### b) Generating a Wiggle file
A wiggle plot representing the expected number of reads overlapping
each position in the genome/transcript set can be generated from the
sorted_bam_input : Input BAM format file, must be sorted
wig_output : Output wiggle file's name, e.g. output.wig
wiggle_name : the name of this wiggle plot
---no-fractional-weight : If this is set, RSEM will not look for "ZW" tag and each alignment appeared in the BAM file has weight 1. Set this if your BAM file is not generated by RSEM. Please note that this option must be at the end of the command line.

1) Import the transcript sequences as a genome
-Select File -> Import Genome, then fill in ID, Name and Fasta file. Fasta file should be 'reference_name.idx.fa'. After that, click Save button. Suppose ID is filled as 'reference_name', a file called 'reference_name.genome' will be generated. Next time, we can use: File -> Load Genome, then select 'reference_name.genome'.

+for all genes/transcripts. Run
- rsem-find-DE data_matrix_file [--ngvector ngvector_file] number_sample_condition1 FDR_rate output_file

+'rsem-control-fdr' takes 'rsem-run-ebseq' 's result and reports called
+differentially expressed genes/transcripts by controlling the false
+discovery rate. Run
-data_matrix_file: m by n matrix containing expected counts, m is the number of transcripts/genes, n is the number of total samples.
-[--ngvector ngvector_file]: optional field. 'ngvector_file' is calculated by 'rsem-generate-ngvector'. Having this field is recommended for transcript data.
-number_sample_condition1: the number of samples in condition 1. A condition's samples must be adjacent. The left group of samples are defined as condition 1.
-FDR_rate: false discovery rate.
-output_file: the output file.
+ rsem-control-fdr --help
-The results are written as a matrix with row and column names. The row names are the differentially expressed transcripts'/genes' ids. The column names are 'PPEE', 'PPDE', 'PostFC' and 'RealFC'.
+to get usage information or visit the [rsem-control-fdr documentation
+page](http://deweylab.biostat.wisc.edu/rsem/rsem-control-fdr.html). These
+two scripts can perform DE analysis on either 2 conditions or multiple
+conditions.
-PPEE: posterior probability of being equally expressed.
-PPDE: posterior probability of being differentially expressed.
-PostFC: posterior fold change (condition 1 over condition2).
-RealFC: real fold change (condition 1 over condition2).
