RNAither
RNAither analyzes RNA interference (RNAi) screening data to identify significant siRNAs and associated biological processes.
Key Features:
- Quality Assessment and Normalization: Performs signal intensity quality control and applies multiple normalization methods to accommodate diverse experimental designs.
- Statistical and Functional Analysis: Applies statistical tests to detect significant siRNAs and conducts biological process enrichment analysis for affected genes.
Scientific Applications:
- RNAi Functional Genomics: Supports identification of gene functions, pathways, and interaction networks from high-throughput RNAi screens.
Methodology:
RNAither processes RNAi screening datasets through quality control, normalization, statistical testing for siRNA significance, and downstream biological process enrichment analysis within the R/Bioconductor framework.
