BEAVR: a browser-based tool for the exploration and visualization of RNA-seq data

摘要

Overview of BEAVR’s graphical user interface and typical workflow. BEAVR’s easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) is divided into two areas; a main work area and a sidebar. The main work area has a tabbed-interface to select data output and figure displays. Depending on the tab selected in the main working area, the context-dependent sidebar will show appropriate options and parameters that allow the user to customize analysis, data output and figures. BEAVR breaks down the RNA-seq analysis workflow into logical steps. Users begin by loading their data (raw read counts and sample information) and select experimental settings for analysis and statistical tests. Then differential gene expression (DGE) analysis is performed automatically using DESeq2, lastly the data is displayed in interactive tables, graphs and plots that users can explore, manipulate and customize
