Brief guide to RNA sequencing analysis for nonexperts in bioinformatics.

ABSTRACT

Transcriptome analysis is widely used for current biological research but remains challenging for many experimental scientists. Here, we present a brief but broad guideline for transcriptome analysis, focusing on RNA sequencing, by providing the list of publicly available datasets, tools, and R packages for practical transcriptome analysis. This work will be useful for biologists to perform key transcriptomic analysis with minimum expertise in bioinformatics.
