Geoff’s Narration The GIST Finally, we have a study that’s worthy of this disease. This is a disease, after all, that affects millions, is one of the most functionally disabling diseases known to man, and mostly strikes people in the prime of their lives. It’s a pretty big bore […] The post Decoding ME: Big Stakes Genetics Study Puts ME/CFS on Firm Biological Foundation appeared first on Health Rising.| Health Rising

In a previous post, we discussed how RNA-seq provides measurements of relative expression between genes rather than measurements of absolute expression. In this post, we will discuss median-ratio normalization: a procedure that attempts to scale each sample’s read counts so that differences in the read counts between samples better reflects differences in absolute expression. We will start by describing the underlying assumption that must be met for median-ratio normalization to work and th...| Matthew N. Bernstein
