Explore and download data from the recount project available at the recount2 website. Using the recount package you can download RangedSummarizedExperiment objects at the gene, exon or exon-exon junctions level, the raw counts, the phenotype metadata used, the urls to the sample coverage bigWig files or the mean coverage bigWig file for a particular study. The RangedSummarizedExperiment objects can be used by different packages for performing differential expression analysis. Using derfinder you can perform annotation-agnostic differential expression analyses with the data from the recount project.

For more information about recount check the vignettes.

Get R 3.3.x from CRAN.
