CoGe LoadExp+: A web‐based suite that integrates next‐generation sequencing data analysis workflows and visualization. (20th July 2017) - Grover, Jeffrey W.
Summary: To make genomic and epigenomic analyses more widely available to the biological research community, we have created LoadExp+, a suite of bioinformatics workflows integrated with the web‐based comparative genomics platform, CoGe. LoadExp+ allows users to perform transcriptomic (RNA‐seq), epigenomic (bisulfite‐seq), chromatin‐binding (ChIP‐seq), variant identification (SNPs), and population genetics analyses against any genome in CoGe, including genomes integrated by users themselves. Through LoadExp+'s integration with CoGe's existing features, all analyses are available for visualization and additional downstream processing, and are available for export to CyVerse's data management and analysis platforms. LoadExp+ provides easy‐to‐use functionality to manage genomics and epigenomics data throughout its entire lifecycle using a publicly available web‐based platform and facilitates greater accessibility of genomics analyses to researchers of all skill levels. LoadExp+ can be accessed athttps://genomevolution.org .
