Description
In this computer lab module, students learn how to process an RNA-seq data set to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs). The samples for this data set were collected from yeast cells expressing either a control gene or a pathogen effector gene. The goal is to identify potential cellular targets of the pathogen protein based on the global transcriptional response. Students access and analyze the RNA-seq data set using a publicly available Galaxy server. After checking and processing the data for quality control, they then map the reads to the yeast reference genome and subsequently identify genes that are differentially expressed between the control and experimental samples.
