Description
BRAINscape: A Comprehensive Multi-Omics Analysis Tool
Overview
BRAINscape is an R package designed for integrative multi-omics analysis, specifically developed for the MU-BRAIN dataset, a multiethnic RNAseq dataset. The package facilitates stratified eQTL mapping and Differential Expression Analysis, providing a user-friendly framework for researchers to explore genetic and transcriptomic associations.
Features
- eQTL Analysis: Supports cis and trans eQTL mapping.
- Differential Expression Analysis: Uses DESeq2 for robust transcriptomic profiling.
- Interactive Data Exploration: Shiny-based web interface for data visualization.
- Supports Ethnicity-Specific Analysis: Users can filter results by Hispanic and Non-Hispanic Whites (NHW) groups.
- Advanced Visualization:
- Manhattan Plots for eQTL results.
- Volcano Plots for Differential Expression Analysis.
