AbstractMotivationNext-Generation Sequencing has made available much more large-scale genomic and transcriptomic data. Studies with RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) data typically involve generation of gene expression profiles that can be further analyzed, many times involving differential gene expression (DGE). This process enables comparison across samples of two or more factor levels. A recurring issue with DGE analyses is the complicated nature of the comparisons to be made, in which a variety of factor combinations, pairwise comparisons, and main or blocked main effects need to be tested.ResultsHere we present a tool called IRIS-DGE, which is a server-based DGE analysis tool developed using Shiny. It provides a straightforward, user-friendly platform for performing comprehensive DGE analysis, and crucial analyses that help design hypotheses and to determine key genomic features. IRIS-DGE integrates the three most commonly used R-based DGE tools to determine differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and includes numerous methods for performing preliminary analysis on user-provided gene expression information. Additionally, this tool integrates a variety of visualizations, in a highly interactive manner, for improved interpretation of preliminary and DGE analyses.AvailabilityIRIS-DGE is freely available at http://bmbl.sdstate.edu/IRIS/[email protected] informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Abstract Background Various statistical models have been developed to model the single cell RNA-seq expression profiles, capture its multimodality, and conduct differential gene expression test. However, for expression data generated by different experimental design and platforms, there is currently lack of capability to determine the most proper statistical model. Results We developed an R package, namely Multi-Modal Model Selection (M3S), for gene-wise selection of the most proper multi-modality statistical model and downstream analysis, useful in a single-cell or large scale bulk tissue transcriptomic data. M3S is featured with (1) gene-wise selection of the most parsimonious model among 11 most commonly utilized ones, that can best fit the expression distribution of the gene, (2) parameter estimation of a selected model, and (3) differential gene expression test based on the selected model. Conclusion A comprehensive evaluation suggested that M3S can accurately capture the multimodality on simulated and real single cell data.

The comparison of high throughput gene expression datasets obtained from different experimental conditions is a challenging task. It provides an opportunity to explore the cellular response to various biological events such as disease, environmental conditions, and drugs. There is a need for tools that allow the integration and analysis of such data. We developed the “RankerGUI pipeline”, a user-friendly web application for the biological community. It allows users to use various rank based statistical approaches for the comparison of full differential gene expression profiles between the same or different biological states obtained from different sources. The pipeline modules are an integration of various open-source packages, a few of which are modified for extended functionality. The main modules include rank rank hypergeometric overlap, enriched rank rank hypergeometric overlap and distance calculations. Additionally, preprocessing steps such as merging differential expression profiles of multiple independent studies can be added before running the main modules. Output plots show the strength, pattern, and trends among complete differential expression profiles. In this paper, we describe the various modules and functionalities of the developed pipeline. We also present a case study that demonstrates how the pipeline can be used for the comparison of differential expression profiles obtained from multiple platforms’ data of the Gene Expression Omnibus. Using these comparisons, we investigate gene expression patterns in kidney and lung cancers.
