| dc.description.abstract | In the last fifteen years, the amount of publicly available genomic sequencing data has doubled every few months. Analyzing large collections of RNA-seq datasets can provide insights that are not available when analyzing data from single experiments. There are barriers towards such analyses: combining processed data is challenging because varying methods for processing data make it difficult to compare data across studies; combining data in raw form is challenging because of the resources needed to process the data. Multiple RNA-seq compendiums, which are curated sets of RNA-seq data that have been pre-processed in a uniform fashion, exist; however, there is no such resource in plants. We created a comprehensive compendium for Arabidopsis thaliana using a pipeline based on Snakemake. We downloaded over 80 Arabidopsis studies from the Sequence Read Archive. Through a strict set of criteria, we chose 35 studies containing a total of 700 biological replicates, with a focus on the response of different Arabidopsis tissues to a variety of stresses. In order to make the studies comparable, we hand-curated the metadata, pre-processed and analyzed each sample using our pipeline. We performed exploratory analysis on the samples in our compendium for quality control, and to identify biologically distinct subgroups, using PCA and t-SNE. We discuss the differences between these two methods and show that the data separates primarily by tissue type, and to a lesser extent, by the type of stress. We identified treatment conditions for each study and generated three lists: differentially expressed genes, differentially expressed introns, and genes that were differentially expressed under multiple conditions. We then visually analyzed these groups, looking for overarching patterns within the data, finding around a thousand genes that participate in stress response across tissues and stresses. | |
