Abstract
RNA-Seq analysis is the newest area of functionality in the Golden Helix SNP and Variation Suite (SVS) software. SVS offers a wide range of tools for analyzing and visualizing RNA-Seq data, with a particular focus on differential expression analysis.
In this presentation, Ashley Hintz, a Field Application Scientist at Golden Helix will demonstrate some of these options using a mouse dataset downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) as a case study. Ashley will discuss available functions for data summaries and quality checks, data visualization including heat maps, interactive visualization in GenomeBrowse, and statistical methods for differential expression analysis, including DESeq.
