Visualising FANTOM3 human CAGE data

First download the relevant tables from here. Download tss_library_expr_summary.tsv.bz2, tss_summary.tsv.bz2 and rna_lib_summary.tsv.bz2 and bunzip2 the files. According to information derived from rna_lib_summary.tsv there are 13,897 CAGE tags from the prostate gland (rna_lib_id = HBA). Double check this: Genomic coordinates of … Continue reading
