Differential expression analysis with inmoose, the integrated multi-omic open-source environment in Python.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Differential gene expression analysis is a prominent technique for the analysis of biomolecular data to identify genetic features associated with phenotypes. Limma-for microarray data -, and edgeR and DESeq2-for RNA-Seq data-, are the most widely used tools for differential gene expression analysis of bulk transcriptomic data.

Results

We present the differential expression features of InMoose, a Python implementation of R tools limma, edgeR, and DESeq2. We experimentally show that InMoose stands as a drop-in replacement for those tools, with nearly identical results. This ensures reproducibility when interfacing both languages in bioinformatic pipelines. InMoose is an open source software released under the GPL3 license, available at www.github.com/epigenelabs/inm
