Data processing and quality control

What we produced: FASTQ files (if we don't have them), FASTQC reports, BAM and SAM files.

Diffeential expression analysis

What we produced: script for differential expression analysis, table with read counts (tab separated format, 7 columns, ENSG ids).

RNA-seq data can be difficult to interpret (especially in terms of differential expression quantitation). Thus, we decided to adopt a simple method for the analysis, based on counting, for each gene and for each sample, the number of available reads and then testing for significant differences between two experimental conditions or groups.

We wrote an R script that automatically creates a PDF file (in the current directory) with all the figures necessary for visual inspection and result interpretation. The input is a tab separated file with reads counts.

After idenfication of genes that are both overexpressed and mutated in tumor samples, we want to know if good candidate antigens can be predicted. Read more about the prediction step.
