MATRiX app

Transcriptomic is a common tool to asses differential gene expression in order to compare multiple conditions.

Most of the transcriptomic facilities offers a service for acquisition and statistical analysis of transcriptomic data (DNA chips, RNA-seq, ChIP-Seq). The data analyses are performed using R scripts from raw data pretreatments to statistical analysis. It is noted that statistical analyses define arbtirary filtering criteria to select relevant genes. Hence biologists are led to reconsider these criteria according to their own scientific question.

In order to allow biologists to explore their own datasets in autonomy and generate graphical representations, we have deployed a turnkey solution built with the shiny framework.
