# Introduction

The formation of hybrids through the fusion of distinct genomes and subsequent
genome duplication in cases of allopolyploidy represents a significant
evolutionary event with complex effects on cellular biology, particularly gene expression. The impact of such genome mergings and duplications on
transcription remain incompletely understood. To bridge this gap, we introduce __HybridExpress__, a comprehensive package designed to facilitate the
comparative transcriptomic analysis of hybrids and their progenitor species.
__HybridExpress__ is tailored for RNA-Seq data derived from an
'experimental trio': the hybrid organism and its two parental species.

from a 'hybrid triplet': the hybrid organism and its two parental species.
This package offers a suite of intuitive functions enabling researchers to
perform differential expression analysis with ease, generate principal
component analysis (PCA) plots for visualizing gene expression trends,
component analysis (PCA) plots to visualize sample grouping,
categorize genes into 12 distinct expression pattern groups
(as in @rapp2009genomic), and conduct in-depth functional analyses.
(as in @rapp2009genomic), and conduct functional analyses.
Acknowledging the potential variability in cell and transcriptome size
across species and ploidy levels, __HybridExpress__ incorporates features for
rigorous normalization of count data. Specifically, it allows for the
integration of spike-in standards directly into the normalization process,
integration of spike-in controls directly into the normalization process,
ensuring accurate transcriptome size adjustments when these standards are
present in the RNA-Seq count data (see full methodology in @coate2023beyond).
By offering these capabilities, __HybridExpress__ provides a robust toolset for unraveling the intricate effects of genome doubling and merging on hybrid gene expression, paving the way for novel insights into the cellular biology of hybrid organisms.
