Identification of differential genes using t-tests by R

Download Workflow

This workflow starts by retrieving the names of microarray datasets from the maxdLoad2 database. The user has to select sets of control and test data for analysis using t-tests by R. A list of significant differentially expressed genes is then analysed using the Go Term Finder tool which generates a PDF file containing list of common GO terms associated with the genes. A CSV file containing the list of significant genes is also generated.

This workflow requires access to R deployed as a service using RServe for the RShell processor to run successfully.

Revision comment:

Replaced the cleanGenenames processor with a new Beanshell script called createGeneNames. This new processor generates a list of genes using their yeast gene name or open reading frame number if it does not have a standard yeast name.
