Expand DESeq2 integration into Galaxy

Supervisor: Bérénice Batut (@bebatut) For degree: Bachelor/Project/Master Status: Open Keywords: Galaxy, R, RNA-seq

Global Biological/Research context

DESeq2 is a widely used tool to analyze RNA-Seq data.

Project context

DESeq2 provides a lot of functionalities and supports complex RNA-Seq data analysis. DESeq2 is available in Galaxy, but the integration does not support all functionalities of DESeq2 (complex models, functions, etc).

Objectives of the project

The objective of the project would be to expand the Galaxy integration of DESeq2, develop a user-friendly interface to interact with the DESeq2 objects and outputs.

Proposed agenda for the project

  1. Test DESeq2 (in R and in Galaxy) on several datasets
  2. Identify the missing pieces in the Galaxy integration
  3. Develop the Galaxy integration of DESeq2
