bulk-rnaseq

bulk-rnaseq is a Bioinformatics & life sciences skill for AI agents, published by K-Dense-AI in the scientific-agent-skills repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates bulk-rnaseq C (74/100) and it passed the safety scan; a judge model has also reviewed it.

End-to-end bulk RNA-seq orchestrator — takes raw FASTQ reads through QC and trimming (FastQC, fastp/Trim Galore), alignment and quantification (STAR, Salmon, featureCounts), assembles a gene-level counts matrix, then hands off to differential expression (pydeseq2), pathway/GSEA enrichment (pathway-enrichment), and publication figures (scientific-visualization). Use whenever the user has bulk RNA-seq reads or quant output and wants a complete, reproducible differential-expression workflow — e.g. "analyze my RNA-seq", "FASTQ to DESeq2", "run nf-core/rnaseq", "STAR/Salmon quantification", "build a counts matrix for DESeq2", or "go from reads to differentially expressed genes and enriched pathways". Routes between an nf-core/rnaseq (Nextflow) path and a standalone STAR/Salmon path, and covers experimental design, strandedness, and QC gates. For single-cell RNA-seq use the scanpy skill instead.

A well-reasoned router with a path-selection table (nf-core vs standalone) and pinned tool versions, but it delegates most real work to sibling skills and an external manual, leaving little self-contained depth.
