Expression data normalization #24

Closed vvelasqz closed 1 year ago

vvelasqz commented 4 years ago

Do you recommend any type of normalization for expression RNASeq counts or should it work with raw data?

asistradition commented 4 years ago

I would suggest that you use either UMI-based counts or TPM. You may get a modest improvement if you add a transformation. Log2 pseudocount, the variance-stabilizing transformation from DESeq2, or a freeman-tukey transform would be good options.
