INFO GRAB is an interactive Shiny application designed for efficient exploration and visualization of gene expression data from chicken tissues and cell types. It integrates differential expression, tissue-specific expression, and allele-specific expression functionalities, supported by advanced plotting features, such as volcano plots, heatmaps, PCA, and correlation, as well as an embedded genome viewer. By leveraging DESeq2, Tau-based metrics, and curated multi-omic data, INFO GRAB provides a streamlined, user-friendly approach to large-scale transcriptomic analyses. This tool empowers researchers to investigate regulatory mechanisms and complex genetic traits, advancing poultry genomics and related biological research. • Web-based user interface for transcriptomic analysis of 20 chicken tissues and cell types. • Multimodal analysis options. • High-quality data visualization. • Easy export of varied gene list for downstream analysis.
