TY - JOUR T1 - The Lair: A resource for exploratory analysis of published RNA-Seq data JF - bioRxiv DO - 10.1101/056200 SP - 056200 AU - Harold Pimentel AU - Pascal Sturmfels AU - Nicolas Bray AU - Páll Melsted AU - Lior Pachter Y1 - 2016/01/01 UR - http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2016/05/31/056200.abstract N2 - Increased emphasis on reproducibility of published research in the last few years has led to the large-scale archiving of sequencing data. While this data can, in theory, be used to reproduce results in papers, it is typically not easily usable in practice. We introduce a series of tools for processing and analyzing RNA-Seq data in the Short Read Archive, that together have allowed us to build an easily extendable resource for analysis of data underlying published papers. Our system makes the exploration of data easily accessible and usable without technical expertise. Our database and associated tools can be accessed at The Lair: http://pachterlab.github.io/lair ER -
