Comparison of tools for facilitating the valorization of expression datasets. Eight interactive tools for analysis of count data from RNA-Seq are presented here and compared in terms of features and methodological choices. The features included are the ones we believe are the expectation from most users willing to exploit RNA-Seq experiments and understand regulatory mechanisms, and that we included to DIANE. Although not reported here for clarity reasons, many compared tools had their own features and specificities of interest. For instance, IRIS-DEA handles single cell RNA-Seq and facilitates GEO submission of the data, iDEP enables to build protein-protein interaction network and has an impressive organisms database, while Shiny-Seq can summarise results directly into power point presentations
