What problem does it solve?
This Skill automates bulk RNA-seq differential expression analysis so you can move from raw count tables to statistically tested gene-level results without assembling the workflow by hand.
Core Features & Use Cases
- End-to-End DESeq2 Workflow: Fit size factors, dispersions, log fold changes, and Wald tests with Benjamini-Hochberg FDR correction.
- Flexible Experimental Designs: Handle single-factor comparisons, batch-adjusted models, continuous covariates, and interaction terms using formulaic design strings.
- Result Refinement and Reporting: Apply optional LFC shrinkage, export CSV and H5AD outputs, and generate volcano and MA plots for interpretation.
- Use Cases: Compare treated versus control samples, control for batch effects, and prioritize significant genes for downstream biology or validation.
Quick Start
Use the pydeseq2 skill to analyze the attached count matrix with the provided metadata and a treated-versus-control contrast, then return significant genes and saved result files.
