High throughput sequencing technologies have enabled cross-species comparative transcriptomic studies; however, there are numerous challenges for these studies due to biological and technical factors. We developed CoSIA (Cross-Species Investigation and Analysis), an Bioconductor R package and Shiny app that provides an alternative framework for cross-species transcriptomic comparison of non-diseased wild-type RNA sequencing gene expression data across tissues and species through visualization of variability, diversity, and specificity metrics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
