Project Title: An Accessible Graphical User Interface for RNA-seq Analysis

Project Description: Steven developed a bioinformatics tool, ExpressDiff, for accessible differential RNA-seq analysis. The ExpressDiff pipeline implements open-source tools for read quality control, adapter trimming, gene alignment, and differential analysis to deliver repeatable results based on user input. ExpressDiff runs entirely on UVA HPC, and once finalized, may be used a bioinformatics research and teaching tool.
