Hi everyone,
A colleague and I have just wrapped the OSD758 dataset from the OSDR into an R data package, developed for a local RNA-seq analysis workshop here in Portugal. We thought it might be useful to share it more broadly:
R data package: Artificial Gravity Attenuates the Transcriptomic Response to Spaceflight in the Optic Nerve and Retina • OSD758
The goal of this package is to help students get started quickly with the coding aspects of RNA-seq analysis, without spending too much time on preliminary data wrangling.
Even if this specific dataset isn’t of direct interest (we chose it for its simplicity — a single experimental variable: effective acceleration), the package might still be pedagogical for those working with R who wish to share OSDR datasets in a ready-to-analyse format for teaching or reproducible research.
