Interpreting the RNA-Seq analysis result
The main results of RNA-Seq analysis are:
- Expression Tracks One track summarizing expression at the gene level is produced. The track name ends in (GE). If the "Genome annotated with genes and transcripts" option was selected, as shown in figure 28.4, then a second track summarizing expression at the transcript level is also produced. This track has a name ending with (TE).
- Reads track This track contains the mapping of the reads to the references. This track has a name ending with (Reads).
Other outputs, if these have been chosen when setting up the RNA-seq analysis are:
- RNA-seq report
- Fusion gene table
- A sequence list of unmapped reads
The rest of this page describes these output types in more detail.
