Description: ExCluster flattens Ensembl and GENCODE GTF files into GFF
        files, which are used to count reads per non-overlapping exon
        bin from BAM files. This read counting is done using the
        function featureCounts from the package Rsubread. Library sizes
        are normalized across all biological replicates, and ExCluster
        then compares two different conditions to detect signifcantly
        differentially spliced genes. This process requires at least
        two independent biological repliates per condition, and
        ExCluster accepts only exactly two conditions at a time.
        ExCluster ultimately produces false discovery rates (FDRs) per
        gene, which are used to detect significance. Exon log2 fold
        change (log2FC) means and variances may be plotted for each
        significantly differentially spliced gene, which helps
        scientists develop hypothesis and target differential splicing
        events for RT-qPCR validation in the wet lab.
