Plot normalized counts for a gene

Description

Given a table of read counts for an experiment, this tool makes a plot of the normalized counts using the DESeq2 Bioconductor package.

Parameters

Details

This tool takes as input a table of raw counts. The count table has to be associated with a phenodata file describing the experimental groups. These files are best created by the tool "Utilities / Define NGS experiment", which combines count files for different samples to one table, and creates a phenodata file for it.

The tool normalizes counts by sequencing depth and adds a pseudocount of 1/2 to allow for log scale plotting. The counts are grouped by "group".

Output

The plot of normalized counts.
