seaPiper usage

Introduction

seaPiper is a user interface to studying the results of differential gene expression analysis. Note that it does not allow any analysis per se. This is an important distinction: the analysis results are generated using a pipeline – that allows them to be reproducible and well documented; every analysis result can be traced back to the code that generated it, versions of packages used to generate it etc. Analyses performed interactively (in a graphical user interface), for example in a browser, are notoriously hard to perform in a way that is accountable and reproducible.
