Create Expression Browser

The Create Expression Browser tool makes it possible to inspect gene and transcript expression level counts, annotations and statistics for many samples at the same time.

To run the tool, go to:

        Toolbox | RNA-Seq and Small RNA Analysis (Image expressionfolder)| Create Expression Browser (Image create_expression_experiment_16_n_p)

Select some expression tracks (Image rnaseqtrack_16_h_p). These can be either Gene level (GE) or Transcript level Expression (TE) tracks, but not a combination of both (see figure 30.33).

Click on the Next button.

In the second wizard dialog, statistical comparisons and an annotation resource can be selected (see figure 30.34). Information from the selected elements is included in the expression browser.

Statistical comparisons are generated by differential expression tools, described in Differential Expression. The selected statistical comparisons must have been created using the same kind of expression tracks as those selected in the first wizard step. For example, when creating an expression browser using GE expression tracks, statistical comparisons must have been generated using GE tracks.

Annotation resources can come from various sources:
