PlantExp

PlantExp enables exploration and analysis of plant gene expression and alternative splicing using uniformly processed public RNA-seq datasets.

Key Features:

• Extensive data repository: PlantExp consolidates 131,423 uniformly processed RNA-seq samples from 85 plant species across 24 orders.
• Flexible data retrieval: Supports retrieval by functional terms and by sequence similarity.
• Analysis tools: Provides differential expression analysis, specific expression analysis, co-expression network analysis, and cross-species expression conservation analysis.
• Alternative splicing analysis: Enables identification and exploration of alternative splicing events across samples.
• Customizable sample grouping: Permits reanalysis of public datasets with user-defined sample groupings.
• Visualization tools: Generates visualizations to represent analysis results from expression and splicing studies.

Scientific Applications:

• Gene expression dynamics: Investigating gene expression changes across species, tissues, or environmental conditions.
• Alternative splicing characterization: Exploring alternative splicing events and their functional implications in plant tissues.
• Comparative regulatory network analysis: Uncovering conserved genetic pathways and gene regulatory networks among diverse plant orders.

Methodology:

Uniform processing of public RNA-seq data to ensure consistency and reliability across samples and analyses.
