QSeq is DNASTAR's Next-Gen application for RNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq, and miRNA alignment and analysis. QSeq is fully integrated with ArrayStar, enabling you to take advantage of its powerful visualization and analytical tools, including using Gene Ontology (GO) annotations for ontology comparisons and gene characterization. Using QSeq, researchers can select gene sets and export associated reads through the rest of the DNASTAR software pipeline for sequence assembly, alignment, and detailed analysis. To learn more, see the Features or Resources tab below.

 

"QSeq is a great program for examining RNA-seq data. This program is very helpful for examining gene expression data!"

Nathan Lawson, University of Massachusetts Medical School

Features

Next-Gen Workflows Supported

  • RNA-Seq analysis to measure gene expression for transcriptomes using next-gen and third generation sequencing technologies. Video See it!
  • ChIP-Seq peak detection to discover binding sites of DNA-associated proteins and determine how they interact with the DNA to affect expression in nearby genes.  Video See it!
  • Easy importation of GO annotations for ontology comparisons and gene characterization.

    •  

    Flexible Settings and Analysis

  • Compare multiple experimental conditions.
  • Parameters are adjustable for multiple workflows. After choosing your experiment type, optimized settings are determined for you.
  • Analysis tools with graphically rich views. Video See it!

    •  

    Visualize Genomes

  • Export your data for visualization as coverage graphs to GenVision or in WIGGLE format, compatible with genome browsers.
  • Create alignment files such as SAM/BAM, GFF and BED. 
  • Export reads for assembly and analysis in SeqMan NGen, which enables you to annotate your consensus with novel binding sites, evaluate coverage, and analyze SNPs.

    •  

    High Capacity, High Speed Assembler

  • Align 1 billion or more sequences to a human genome
  • Short and long sequence reads aligned 
  • Align 100 million reads in less than one hour on a common desktop machine.
