Methods for the out-of-the-box RNA-seq pipeline (nf-core/rnaseq)

Written by Andrew Goodspeed

Methods

Raw FASTQ files were processed using the nf-core/rnaseq pipeline (v3.7) (1, 2). Adapter sequences were removed with Trim Galore (3). Reads were aligned with STAR (4) to GRCh38/hg19 (human) or GRCm38/mm10 (mouse) and quantified to gene counts using RSEM (5).
