ERSAtool: A User-Friendly R/Shiny Comprehensive Transcriptomic Analysis Interface Suitable for Education.

ABSTRACT: RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) has become an essential technology for assessing gene expression profiles in biomedical research. However, the coding complexity of RNA-seq data analysis remains a significant barrier for students and researchers without extensive bioinformatics expertise. We present the Educational RNA-Seq Analysis tool (ERSAtool), a comprehensive R/Shiny interface that provides an intuitive graphical visualization of the complete RNA-seq analysis workflow. The application is built on established Bioconductor packages and upholds high standards in analyses while significantly reducing the technical expertise required to conduct sophisticated transcriptomic analyses. ERSAtool supports various input formats, such as raw count matrices and STAR alig
