    2.1. Dataset and Experimental design: In the current study, we obtained publicly available data (GSE178967) from the NCBI GEO (Gene Expression Omnibus).
    Gene Expression Omnibus
    suggested: (Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO, RRID:SCR_005012)
    While DESeq2 is a DGE analysis tool that mandates data to be unprocessed read counts as integer values [83].
    DESeq2
    suggested: (DESeq, RRID:SCR_000154)
    Biological annotation: Subsequently, to understand the biological implication of significantly differentially expression genes obtained from DESeq2 analysis in severe patients, we performed gene enrichment analysis using the Enrichr [101–103].
    Enrichr
    suggested: (Enrichr, RRID:SCR_001575)
    A few of the top Gene Set Enrichment terms are, i.e., KEGG Human, WikiPathway
    KEGG
    suggested: (KEGG, RRID:SCR_012773)

    About SciScore

    SciScore is an automated tool that is designed to assist expert reviewers by finding and presenting formulaic information scattered throughout a paper in a standard, easy to digest format. SciScore checks for the presence and correctness of RRIDs (research resource identifiers), and for rigor criteria such as sex and investigator blinding. For details on the theoretical underpinning of rigor criteria and the tools shown here, including references cited, please follow this link.
