DESeq2 Basics Explained | Differential Gene Expression Analysis | Bioinformatics 101

A basic task in the analysis of count data from RNA-seq is the detection of differentially expressed genes. DESeq2 is one of the most commonly used packages to perform differential gene expression analysis in R. In this video, I have tried to explained the DESeq2 model and provide some intuition on what goes behind this package and the steps performed to call differentially expressed genes. I have tried my best to keep it simple and explain it to the best of my knowledge. Please feel free to leave your comments below, I am happy to hear your thoughts, as well as any links to articles/blogs/papers that you think, explain these concepts better! Let’s use this space to share resources and learn more!
