### Description

Using the recount package you can download RangedSummarizedExperiment-class objects at the gene or exon level, the raw counts, the phenotype metadata used, the urls to the sample coverage bigWig files or the mean coverage bigWig file for a particular study. The RangedSummarizedExperiment-class objects can be used by different packages for performing differential expression analysis.
