idHX
idHX is a bioinformatics tool designed for the rapid identification of highly expressed genes from RNA‑sequencing datasets. The software was first released by the Genomics Research Group at the University of Riverdale in 2012, and has since been adopted by laboratories worldwide for both academic research and pharmaceutical development.
The core of idHX is a statistical ranking algorithm that normalizes read counts, corrects for library size
idHX has been cited in over 120 peer‑reviewed publications by 2023, particularly in studies of plant stress
The software is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, and is distributed as a command‑line package along
