🧬 We introduce RUP (RNA-Seq Usability Assessment Pipeline), a quality control pipeline for bulk RNA-sequencing data tiny.cc/qn1v001. 🧬 RUP is useful for anyone working with RNA-seq data -especially those interested in evolution, like the ICIPS crowd 🌱. #PlantScience #transcriptomics #rna-seqdata

🧬 We’re excited to share our latest publication tiny.cc/qn1v001, featuring a great collaboration with our favorite bioinformaticians in Giessen (and yes… guess who came up with the pipeline name 😄). #PlantScience #transcriptomics #rna-seqdata
