log(a/b) - a and b values #130

Closed L-Boonstra closed 4 years ago

L-Boonstra commented 4 years ago

Hello, I have a question regarding the output.

The differential.tsv file contains the log2-fold/ranking values, which comes from the formula log(a/b)+k. Is it possible to also obtain the values of the a and b besides the ranking?

A and B here denote before and after right? Since these are absolute abundances, it's not possible to estimate those without a carefully designed flow cytometry / qPCR experiment.
