<meta property="og:description" content="eXpress is a general quantification tool for target DNA/RNA sequences. While its primary use currently is RNA-Seq it has the potential for applications in many other areas including as allele-specific expression and metgenomics. What makes eXpress different is that it is an online (or streaming) algorithm, meaning it only makes one pass through the data. This allows it to be very light-weight and efficient using a constant amount of memory and time linear in the number of sequenced fragments being processed. Furthermore, it accepts piped SAM/BAM input, allowing users to avoid storing extremely large alignment files. eXpress models fragment biases, fragment lengths, and errors, allowing it to also be one of the most accurate quantification methods available." />

<h2>06.30.2012 • eXpress Walkthrough</h2>
<p><a href=http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/~pimentel/>Harold Pimentel</a> has made an excellent walkthrough for today's <a href=http://qb3.berkeley.edu/qb3/starseq/>*Seq I Meeting</a>, which is available <a href=http://lmcb.wikispaces.com/eXpress+Walkthrough>here</a>. New users should have a look if you need help getting started with eXpress!</p>
<h2>06.24.2012 • eXpress 1.1.1 released</h2>
<p>This release includes patches for the minor bugs listed below.
<ul>
<li>The stand-specific modes (<tt>--fr-stranded</tt> and <tt>--rf-stranded</tt>) were not being enabled by the command-line arguments. This has been corrected.</li>
<li>In rare cases, NaN and negative counts were being output in results.xprs. This issue has also been corrected.</li>
<li>Linux build is now compiled on CentOS 5 with GCC 4.4.6 for improved compatibility with older installations.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>Thanks to the users who reported and helped fix these bugs.</p>
<h2>05.22.2012 • eXpress 1.1.0 Released</h2>
<p>This release brings an important new feature allowing users to combine reads from a single sample sequenced from different library prepartions or using different reads lengths. Please read the <a href="faq#seppreps">FAQ</a> and <a href="manual#sam">Manual</a> for details on how to use this feature.</p>
<p>The Bowtie2 "bug" we reported previously was actually due to mistakes made by several users in sorting files. Output from Bowtie and Bowtie2 are already in the correct order with alignments grouped by read and do not need to be re-sorted. If you are using a different aligner, you <emph>may</emph> need to sort the alignments. See the <a href="manual.html#sam">Manual</a> for more details and sorting commands. To help avoid these issues in the future, we have implemented a method that will detect improperly ordered alignments in input files (see Release Notes below).</p>
<p><b>Release Notes:</b>
<ul>
<li>Added the ability to combine reads sequenced from different library preparations or using different read lengths. See the <a href="faq.html#seppreps">FAQ</a> for important details if using this feature.</li>
<li>Added a method to detect improperly ordered SAM/BAM files.</li>
<li>Fixed bug where it was not possible to enable additional-batch mode.</li>
</ul></p>
<h2>05.01.2012 • Follow-up for Bowtie2 users</h2>
<p><b>UPDATE (05.22.2012):</b> It has been discovered that this "bug" was not related to Bowtie2 but was due to users imporoperly sorting their alignment files. See the 05.22.2012 announcement for more details.</p>
<p>Some users have asked questions about the Bowtie2 bug we reported yesterday. We have developed a way to test if this bug will affect your results and by how much. You should run one of the pairs of commands below (depending on if you file is in SAM or BAM format). The first command prints how many reads (+ header lines) eXpress will see due to the bug and the second command prints how many reads (+ header lines) eXpress would see without the bug (the correct number). The difference between the two will tell you how many reads are being "double counted" by eXpress. If this number is relatively small, there is no cause for alarm. If it is large, you should sort your file and rerun eXpress. The commands to do this sorting can be found in the <a href=manual.html#sam>Manual</a>.

<h2>04.30.2012 • Warning for Bowtie2 users (UPDATED)</h2>
<p><b>UPDATE (05.22.2012):</b> It has been discovered that this "bug" was not related to Bowtie2 but was due to users imporoperly sorting their alignment files. See the 05.22.2012 announcement for more details.</p>
<p>Due to a bug in Bowtie2, the alignments for a given read aren't guaranteed to be in a consecutive block in the SAM output. Therefore, you must use the --reorder option until the bug is fixed or sort your alignment file using the commands in the <a href=http://bio.math.berkeley.edu/eXpress/manual.html#sam>Manual</a>.</p>
<p>This bug will cause eXpress to produce incorrect results with no errors or notifications.</p>
<h2>04.08.2012 • eXpress 1.0.0 released</h2>
<p>We are happy to announce the release of eXpress 1.0.0 following numerous tests on simulated and real data, and improvements based on feedback from early users.</p>

<li>Reduced memory requirements.</li>
<li>Improved bias model.</li>
<li>Re-added effective count fields to output.</li>
<li>Renamed "post_count_mean" field to "post_count_mode".</li>
</ul></p>
<h2>01.05.2012 • eXpress 0.9.4 BETA released</h2>
<p><b>Release Notes:</b>
<ul>
<li>Greatly increased speed of BAM parsing (thanks to improvements in BamTools)</li>
<li>Fixed bug where software stalled on first additional EM round in some cases</li>
<li>--output-alignments option has been renamed to --output-align-prob</li>
<li>Added new option (--output-align-samp) that outputs one alignment for each fragment, sampled at random based on the alignment likelihood
<li>Additional EM rounds now defaults to 0 (instead of 1)</li>
<li>Removed effective count fields (which can be easily calculated from other fields)</li>
</ul></p>
<h2>10.19.2011 • eXpress 0.9.3 BETA released</h2>
<p><b>Release Notes:</b>
<ul>
<li>Windows binary now available!</li>
<li>Added automatic second round of EM (when input comes from file instead of streaming) that improves results</li>
<li>Added new option (--output-alignments) that outputs the alignments in SAM/BAM format along with the probabilistic assignment for each multi-hit</li>
<li>No more hash collisions!</li>
<li>Fixed bug in polytope projection that led to mean posterior counts outside of the interval between unique and total counts</li>
</ul></p>
<h2>10.07.2011 • A note to Windows users</h2>
<p>While the eXpress code is compatible with Windows, some of its dependencies (Boost, BamTools) have made the compilation on Windows non-trivial. We know that many users wish to run eXpress on their Window's laptop or desktop since it requires so few resources. We are working to make this a reality and hope to have a Windows 7 binary available in the coming weeks.</p>
<p>If you have successfully built eXpress on Windows, please share your magic with us at <a href=mailto:ask.xprs@gmail.com>ask.xprs@gmail.com</a>.</p>
<h2>09.27.2011 • eXpress 0.9.2 BETA released</h2>
<p><b>Release Notes:</b>
<ul>
<li>Added eff_count_mean and eff_count_var columns to report bias-corrected counts</li>
<li>Fixed bug in polytope projection that led to mean posterior counts outside of the interval between unique and total counts</li>
<li>Fixed compatibility issue with Linux binary</li>
</ul></p>
<h2>09.14.2011 • eXpress 0.9.1 BETA released</h2>
<p><b>Release Notes:</b>
<ul>
<li>Fixed bug relating to bias estimation in single-end reads</li>
<li>Added variance-covariance file (varcov.xprs)</li>
<li>Added parameter (bias, fld, errors, etc.) output file (params.xprs) </li>
<li>Added FPKM confidence intervals to results.xprs</li>
<li>Column name changes (est_counts->post_counts_mean, est_counts_var->post_counts_var) in results.xprs</li>
<li>Estimated (mean posterior) counts are now guaranteed to lay between the total and unique counts using polytope projection</li>
</ul></p>
