The script contains a function that tests for errors, as it was used to compute half-life values for a few thousand transcripts in a SLAM-Seq experiment. It can also be used with other results, such as those coming from transcription shut-off experiments combined with RT-qPCR. + +A typical result that can be obtained with this script (invented data): + +![alt output from ggplot2][output] + +[output]: ./degradationplotRNA.png
