Log10 FC or Log2 FC? #336

Closed mainharryHR closed 1 day ago

mainharryHR commented 3 months ago

Dear MilloR team,

I know in the paper, it is clearly claimed Log FC (= Log10 FC), I am writing to confirm that it is not Log2 FC?. If we see LogFC=3, it means there are 1000 differences, which sounds a lot to me :).

Many thanks for the nice package.

Best, Nic

Hi @mainharryHR It is the natural log, not base 10 or 2, so a LFC=3 is a fold-change of exp(3) $\approx$ 20.
