FAQPage Schema
How do I automate bulk RNA-seq analysis from raw reads to differential expression?

You can automate bulk RNA-seq analysis by running the bulk-rnaseq workflow with a samplesheet, genome reference, and aligner choice. It orchestrates quality control, alignment, quantification, differential expression, and pathway enrichment into a reproducible pipeline.

What is the best way to perform pathway enrichment after differential expression analysis?

Pathway enrichment following differential expression is handled automatically within the bulk RNA-seq workflow. The pipeline integrates statistical analysis and pathway enrichment to generate publication-ready figures and tables from your quantification results.

Do I need STAR and Salmon installed to run bulk RNA-seq alignment and quantification?

Yes, STAR and Salmon are required dependencies for the bulk RNA-seq alignment and quantification steps. The workflow uses these bioinformatics tools along with featureCounts and pydeseq2 to process high-throughput RNA-seq experiments.

Can I use pydeseq2 for differential expression in a high-throughput RNA-seq workflow?

Yes, pydeseq2 is integrated into the bulk RNA-seq workflow to perform differential expression analysis. It works alongside STAR, Salmon, and featureCounts to provide a statistically sound, quality-gated pipeline for high-throughput experiments.

Does this bulk RNA-seq pipeline support publication-ready figures and reproducible quality control?

Yes, the bulk RNA-seq pipeline is quality-gated and designed to produce publication-ready figures and tables. It enforces reproducibility and quality control measures across all steps from raw read alignment to pathway enrichment.
