The Caenorhabditis RNA-seq Browser: a web-based application for on-demand analysis of publicly available Caenorhabditis spp. bulk RNA-sequencing data.

ABSTRACT

The Caenorhabditis RNA-seq Browser is an open-source Shiny web app that enables on-demand visualization and quantification of bulk RNA-sequencing data for five Caenorhabditis species C. elegans , C. briggsae , C. brenneri , C. japonica , and C. remanei . The app is designed to allow researchers without previous coding experience to interactively explore publicly available Caenorhabditis RNA-sequencing data. Key app features include the ability to plot gene expression across life stages for user-specified gene sets, and modules for performing differential gene expression analyses. The Caenorhabditis RNA-seq Browser can be accessed online via shinyapps.io or can be installed locally in R from a GitHub repository.
