[BioC] Detecting differential usage of introns from RNA-seq data.

Dear Fong Chun Chan,
Recently I have tried this, and works nicely you just need to count the
reads falling in the introns and them as "exonic bins" in DEXSeq.
However, I think is recommendable to have strand specific data for this,
because sometimes intronic regions contain antisense transcripts that if
they are differentially expressed between your conditions, they can look
like intron retention differences in your transcripts. Also, when adding
the introns as "exonic parts" in DEXSeq, the models become big and
difficult to compute, so it is necessary to use DEXSeq in the TRT
context (estimateDispersionsTRT and testForDEUTRT).
Best wishes,
Alejandro Reyes
