Data is analyzed using dedicated analysis workflows. Details specific to a given analysis workflow are provided in later sections. The main steps in an expression analysis are:
- Reads are aligned and counted to produce expression values for the individual samples (Align and count).
- Expression levels between groups of samples are compared in an experiment, producing one or more differential expression outputs (Create experiment).
