Summary
The Long serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) protocol generates ditags from tags with overlapping overhangs, thereby increasing the probability of duplicate ditag formation in LongSAGE. In this chapter, a tool is presented that facilitates the analysis of duplicate ditags in LongSAGE studies to determine whether they should be included or not.
