Hi there,

I have a quick question - I have raw 10Gb -sized datasets for my samples. For each one of them I have two files from paired end reads - R1 and R2. Do I merge them first using something like fastq-join or do I process them using fastQC and then merge?

Thank you!

Best regards, Dennis

Hello,

For RNA-seq analysis, QA/QC the data as distinct datasets then enter as pair-end data for differential expression analysis.

The Galaxy tutorials here cover RNA-seq processing (expression plus other analysis): https://galaxyproject.org/learn/

Another post just recently addresses paired-end data used with different tools/analysis goals. These analysis paths are covered in the tutorials.

Thanks! Jen, Galaxy team

Thank you Jen!

Much appreciated!

I will read through the tutorials first. There is a lot of information - I'm just getting into RNAseq!

It is wonderful that there are public resources and help like this!

Thank you again!
