Table 4 Median number of significant transcripts calls in the comparative dilution analysis (AGS versus NUGC3) before and after power-law correction

From: Finite-size effects in transcript sequencing count distribution: its power-law correction necessarily precedes downstream normalization and comparative analysis

  1. The breakdown of significant transcript calls for each combination of the mapping algorithms (Bowtie1, Bowtie2(global), Novoalign and BWA) and normalization methods (DESeq, RLE, TMM, Upperquartile, CPM and Quantile) for all 4 positive comparisons (AGS-12p versus NUGC-12p, AGS-12p versus NUGC-3p, AGS-3p versus NUGC-12p and AGS-3p versus NUGC-3p) are given in the following table. The median number of significant calls for 6 normalization methods are highlighted in red for each mapping algorithm
