XpBrew, an end-to-end Python workflow that was applied to generate PanXpresso, a comprehensive collection of gene expression datasets covering the taxonomic breadth of plants, animals, fungi, bacteria and archaea is introduced.

Abstract

Rapid developments in sequencing technologies have reduced the costs of transcriptomic experiments and resulted in a plethora of publicly available RNA-seq datasets. This is a valuable resource that can be harnessed to obtain novel biological insights through data upcycling. In this wake, we introduce XpBrew, an end-to-end Python workflow that was applied to generate PanXpresso, a comprehensive collection of gene expression datasets covering the taxonomic breadth of plants, animals, fungi, bacteria and archaea. XpBrew (https://github.com/PuckerLab/XpBrew) and PanXpresso (https://doi.org/10.60507/FK2/OBIGQH) are freely available.
