  "summary": "Annotating genomic coordinates is an important step for identifying where along the transcript genomic features are enriched yet many widely used peak annotation tools were designed primarily around general genomic or chromatin features. We developed PeakLocus, a dependency-free Java command line tool that assigns RNA feature to transcript interval in an explicitly RNA centered transcript…",
