I am trying to use mageckcountand testto be able to assess the treatment effect.
I have 6 treatments (T) and 3 controls (C).
The problem is : If I choose all 6 Ts and 3 Cs, and choose 'total' for the normalization when I use mageck count and when I use only 1T and 1 C, I have very different results.
My command when I am using 6 T and 3 C is as follows:
Why am I seeing different results for the same gene, if I am using the total counts in both of the cases? The total count for day0 and day 6 are the same..
I could not see an explanation of this, and I would appreciate to know what this parameter does.
Hi,
I am trying to use

to be able to assess the treatment effect.I have 6 treatments (T) and 3 controls (C).
The problem is : If I choose all 6 Ts and 3 Cs, and choose '
total
' for the normalization when I usemageck count
and when I use only 1T and 1 C, I have very different results.My command when I am using 6 T and 3 C is as follows:
mageck count -l Genome/modified_sgRNA.txt -n totalcount --norm-method total --trim-5 26 --sample-label "day0,day01,day02,day1,day2,day3,day4,day5,day6" --fastq Control1.fastq,Control2.fastq,Control3.fastq Treatment1.fastq,Treatment2.fastq,Treatment3.fastq,Treatment4.fastq,Treatment5.fastq,Treatment6.fastq
My results for GLI4:
When I use 1 T and 1 C:
mageck count -l Genome/modified_sgRNA.txt -n totalcount --norm-method total --trim-5 26 --sample-label "day0,day6" --fastq Control1.fastq Treatment6.fastq
Results for same gene:
Why am I seeing different results for the same gene, if I am using the total counts in both of the cases? The total count for day0 and day 6 are the same..

Thank you very much.
