Description: Detection of rare aberrant splicing events in
        transcriptome profiles. Read count ratio expectations are
        modeled by an autoencoder to control for confounding factors in
        the data. Given these expectations, the ratios are assumed to
        follow a beta-binomial distribution with a junction specific
        dispersion. Outlier events are then identified as read-count
        ratios that deviate significantly from this distribution.
        FRASER is able to detect alternative splicing, but also intron
        retention. The package aims to support diagnostics in the field
        of rare diseases where RNA-seq is performed to identify
        aberrant splicing defects.
