• This is a simple preprocessing tool to merge individual gene count files (Eg. output count files from htseq)
• This tool is a part of the NASQAR toolbox
• Pre-print: NASQAR: A web-based platform for High-throughput sequencing data analysis and visualization

NOTE: first column must contain the genes. If the gene columns do not match in all files, this tool will not work

You can try it online at http://nasqar.abudhabi.nyu.edu/GeneCountMerger

• Merge individual sample count files. See Sample Input Files below for more details
• Or merge multiple matrices
• Convert ensembl gene IDs to gene names
  • Option to choose from available genome/versions
  • If genome/version is not available in the options and you have a .gtf file for your genome follow these instructions.
• Option to add pseudocounts (+1)
• Download merged counts file in .csv format
• Transcriptome Analysis (Optional) after merging your counts:
  • Use our Seurat Wizard to carry out single-cell RNA analysis
  • Use DESeq2 or START apps to carry out bulk RNA analysis
