Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by checking Splicekit's documented inputs and workflows for CLIP-seq peaks and knockdown RNA-seq; done would require a confirmed support path or a clearly scoped implementation plan.

Description

Dear Splicekit Developers,

I was wondering whether Splicekit supports the integration of RBP binding data (e.g., CLIP-seq peaks) with RNA-seq data from RBP knockdown experiments to investigate differential alternative splicing. Specifically, can Splicekit be used to assess whether RBP binding near splice sites directly influences their usage upon knockdown?

I’m aware that rMAPS2 offers similar functionality, but its source code is not publicly available and appears not to have been updated since 2020.

Thank you in advance for your time and help.

Best regards,
Xiao
