To access this count table:
Go to the W:\training\rnaseq\runs\run3_RNAseq\results folder that contains the results from running the nfcore/rnaseq pipeline. The output folders from task 3 look like this:
...
The count table can be found in the star_salmon folder. A list of files and folders in the star_salmon folder will look like this:
...
a. First create a new folder in H:\workshop\RNAseq . Call it something suitable, such as ‘DE_analysis_workshop’
...
c. Copy the count table (the ‘salmon.merged.gene_counts.tsv' file which you downloaded from the HPC) to the 'data’ folder you just created.
The count table looks like this:

d. In the same W:\training\rnaseq\runs\run3_RNAseq\results\star_salmon directory there will be a file called metadata.xlsx . Copy this file to your ‘data’ folder as well. This file will normally need to be manually created by you to match your sample IDs and treatment groups, but we created this file already for you to use. This samples table needs 3 columns called ‘sample_name’, containing the sample names seen in the count table (column names), ‘sample_ID’, which is the (less messy) names you want to call the samples in this analysis workflow, and ‘group’, which contains the treatment groups each sample belongs to. Sample metadataThe contents of this file look like this:
| Code Block |

sample_name sample_ID group SRR20622174 DC1 Differentiated_cells SRR20622175 DC2 Differentiated_cells SRR20622177 DC3 Differentiated_cells SRR20622178 BC1 Basal_cells SRR20622179 BC2 Basal_cells SRR20622180 BC3 Basal_cells SRR20622172 mTEC1 Murine_tracheal_epithelial_cell SRR20622173 mTEC2 Murine_tracheal_epithelial_cell SRR20622176 mTEC3 Murine_tracheal_epithelial_cell |

e. Open RStudio and create a new R script (‘File’ → “New File” → “R script”). Now hit ‘File’ → ‘Save’ and save the script in the analysis workshop folder you created in step a. (NOT IN THE ‘data’ FOLDER). Give the script file a name (e.g. DESEq2.R).
The following analysis contains R code (in the grey text boxes) that you can copy and paste, then run, into the R script you just created.
A copy of the full script is at /demo/run3_full_pipeline/
2. Install required R packages
...
We will be using the pretty heatmap package to accomplish this.

This section plots a heatmap and dendrogram of DE gene expression per sample. Expression counts are scaled and centered so that groupwise relationships can be examined.
