We are pleased to announce the release of Xpression, an integrated RNA-seq analysis pipeline.
Xpression automatically processes quality filtering, mapping, expression profiling, and visualization from short read-length NGS reads in nucleotide-space (e.g., Illumina). It currently uses BWA to map reads, which allows a specified number of mismatches between read and reference genome. The expression profile provides normalization for reads per million (pM) and per million-kilobase (pKM). It can also take read orientation of the reads into account if strand-specificity was maintained during the library-prep method.
This pipeline can be run on UNIX-like systems via the command-line or graphically via Java. To run Xpression on any system, such as Windows, a fully-configured virtualized environment is also provided. This environment needs software such as VirtualBox to run, which can be downloaded and installed with a standard point-and-click wizard interface.
The Integrative Genomics Viewer (Broad) is recommended for viewing the wiggle-format visualization files, and we have found Tablet to be a good choice for viewing the sorted bam files.

The complexity of cancer is clearly demonstrated in the diverse ecosystem of the tumor microenvironment (TME). The TME is made up of numerous cell types and its development begins with the changes that happen during oncogenesis. “Genomic mutations, copy number changes, epigenetic alterations, and alternative gene expression occur to varying degrees within the affected tumor cells,” explained Andrea O’Hara, Ph.D., Strategic Technical Specialist at Azenta. “As...-
