What problem does it solve?
This skill addresses the complexity of choosing and executing the correct statistical methods for differential expression analysis, ensuring that biological insights are derived from robust, auditable, and reproducible workflows.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Method Selection: Provides a decision tree to select the optimal tool (PyDESeq2, edgeR, or limma-voom) based on your specific experimental design and sample size.
- Batch Correction: Implements ComBat_seq and svaseq to mitigate technical noise while preserving biological signal.
- Use Case: A researcher with a complex multi-factor experiment can use this skill to determine whether to use DESeq2 or limma, apply the correct batch correction, and generate standardized differential expression results.
Quick Start
Use the bulk-transcriptomics skill to perform differential expression analysis on the provided raw count matrix and metadata file using the recommended method for my experimental design.
