RNA-Seq software evaluation?

[blue mood]

Hi,everyone
I am recently focusing on the RNA-Seq analysis. I want to know the performances of some softwares in this section, such as alignment, assembly, expression, SNP, and so on. Can you provide some suggestions or reference materials?
Thank you

Unfortunatelly there is no comprehensve review/comparison.
You have to go through many papers to figue out what is going on in the field.

You can start by analysing the papers cited in this review:
Ozsolak F, Milos PM. (2011) RNA sequencing: advances, challenges and opportunities. Nat Rev Genetics 12, 87-98.
