# cufflinks ## Summary + **Module Name:** cufflinks + **Support Level:** Secondary Support + **Software Access Level:** Open Access + **Home Page:** [http://cole-trapnell-lab.github.io/cufflinks/](http://cole-trapnell-lab.github.io/cufflinks/) ## Software Description Cufflinks assembles transcripts, estimates their abundances, and tests for differential expression and regulation in RNA-Seq samples. It accepts aligned RNA-Seq reads and assembles the alignments into a parsimonious set of transcripts. Cufflinks then estimates the relative abundances of these transcripts based on how many reads support each one. ## General Linux To load this module for use in a Linux environment, you can run the command: module load cufflinks Depending on where you are working, there may be more than one version of cufflinks available. To see which modules are available for loading you can run: module avail cufflinks
