+StringTie is a fast and highly efficient assembler of RNA-Seq
+alignments into potential transcripts. It uses a novel network flow
+algorithm as well as an optional de novo assembly step to assemble and
+quantitate full-length transcripts representing multiple splice
+variants for each gene locus. Its input can include not only the
+alignments of raw reads used by other transcript assemblers, but also
+alignments longer sequences that have been assembled from those reads.
+
+In order to identify differentially expressed genes between
+experiments, StringTie's output can be processed by specialized
+software like Ballgown, Cuffdiff or other programs (DESeq2, edgeR).
