How To Install kallisto-examples on Debian 12

Learn how to install kallisto-examples on Debian 12 with this tutorial. kallisto-examples is near-optimal RNA-Seq quantification (example data)

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install kallisto-examples on Debian 12.

What is kallisto-examples

kallisto-examples is:

Kallisto is a program for quantifying abundances of transcripts from RNA-Seq data, or more generally of target sequences using high-throughput sequencing reads. It is based on the novel idea of pseudoalignment for rapidly determining the compatibility of reads with targets, without the need for alignment. On benchmarks with standard RNA-Seq data, kallisto can quantify 30 million human reads in less than 3 minutes on a Mac desktop computer using only the read sequences and a transcriptome index that itself takes less than 10 minutes to build. Pseudoalignment of reads preserves the key information needed for quantification, and kallisto is therefore not only fast, but also as accurate than existing quantification tools. In fact, because the pseudoalignment procedure is robust to errors in the reads, in many benchmarks kallisto significantly outperforms existing tools.

This package contains usage examples which are used in autopkgtest.
