Geoff’s Translation The GIST “With this breakthrough, we are proud to enable a first-in-class test that can address an unmet need for a quick and reliable diagnostic for a complex, challenging-to-identify illness,” said Oxford Biodynamics’ Chief Scientific Officer Alexandre Akoulitchev. We live in creative times. The number of clever […] The post New Epigenetic Diagnostic Test For ME/CFS Wows … But Can It Hold? 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
