Hello, 

 

As a learning experience I am playing around with RNA Seq fastQ data. My goal is to simply obtain matrix of gene expression values for each sample that I say go forward and cluster. 

I am looking for recommendations on a workflow to use to achieve this. 

 

I have never done this before, but based on my limited understanding, I am thinking I need to do the following:

Pre-process using fastqc, and aligning using tophat, and then use cufflinks to obtain expression values.

 

One main concern I have is running FASTqc on multiple samples/files at the same time. Is this possible?

 

Like I said, I am really new at this and trying familiarize myself, so any guidance/feedback is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks!

 

Dan

Hi,

You will want to run FastQC on each sample, but you can execute it in batch. 

1 - have all of the input data in one history

2 - create a workflow that contains at least an "Input" step and the "FastQC" step

3 - when running the workflow, click on the icon that looks like a little stack of files on the Input step. This will allow you to select multiple files.

4 - the workflow will execute on each of the files.

Hopefully this helps, Jen, Galaxy team
