Thanks, for my current use, a free shiny account is enough. Good to know other solutions to more complex tasks!

<p>I have a bunch of RNA sequencing data, and I want to make it available on a website upon publication. The basic idea is that when you search by a gene ID, the website will show its expression pattern across different conditions, according to a pre-programmed script. I know how to do it in Rstudio, but I don't have experience in creating websites. I wonder if you have any suggestions on how to do that!</p>

If you can create a shiny application in RStudio, you can deploy the application as a web page. The simplest way is to publish on [shinyapps.io](https://www.shinyapps.io/), because there's a button right there in RStudio to do that:

[![RStudio screen with the Publish button indicated](https://i.sstatic.net/md3F7JXD.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/md3F7JXD.png)

The free user accounts on shinyapps.io are quite limited in terms of computation, but may be enough if you're just showing summary data.

It is possible to create a world-accessible shiny server on your own system via Shiny Server, but if you don't have experience setting up web servers it's likely to be more tricky:

For large data access with scripted computation, you could also try CodeOcean:
