Interactive Exploration & Management of RNA-Seq Analyses
Bioconductor version: 3.24 · Package version: 1.1.1
Highly interactive & modular shiny app to explore three facets of RNA-Seq analysis: differential expression (DE), functional enrichment and pattern analysis. Several visualizations are implemented to provide a wide-ranging view of data sets. For DE analysis, we provide PCA plot, MA plot, Upset plot & heatmaps, in addition to a highly customizable gene plot. Seven different visualizations are available for functional enrichment analysis, and we also support gene pattern analysis. Genes of interest can be tracked across all modules using the gene scratchpad. In addition, carnation provides an integrated platform to manage multiple projects and user access that can be run on a central server to share with collaborators.
