Results: Here we propose BOAssembler, a framework that enables end-to-end automatic tuning of RNA-Seq assemblers, based on Bayesian Optimization principles. The reference-based assembler together with its performance evaluation can be represented as an abstract function f (D, θ), where D includes both the read alignments used for assembly and the reference transcriptome (a set of ground truth RNA transcripts) used for evaluation, and θ refers to the parameters of f . After read alignments are assembled with given parameter θ, the assembly output (a set of RNA transcripts) will be compared with the reference transcriptome, and the quality of assembly is measured by scalar metrics such as precision p and sensitivity s. ./cache/cord-024282-t5wl0bih.txt ./txt/cord-024282-t5wl0bih.txt
