Hi, I have replicate sample counts for 2 groups but one sample is 4x number of mapped reads Than the other samples. 528,428 625,889 498,569 2,328,333 I divided all the mapped transcript reads by 4 and then did the normalization and analysis With edgeR. What do you recommend to do with the 4th sample counts? Lana Schaffer Biostatistics, Informatics DNA Array Core Facility 858-784-2263 [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear Lana, edgeR has no difficulty with uneven library sizes, and will adjust for this automatically for this during the analysis. There is no need for you to do anything other than follow a standard analysis pipeline. You do not need to standardize the 4th sample by dividing the counts by dividing by 4, in fact you must not do this since it changes the mean-variance relationship for your data and invalidates the subsequent analysis. You need to input the true read counts into edgeR.

Gordon, Thank you for this information. Is the same true for DeSeq?

Gordon, An unnamed company is claiming that the RPKM counts and/or Some transformation of the RPKM counts is 90% normal, 5% NB, And 5% poisson distribution using the Akaiki Information Criteria. Can you explain why this is or is not plausable?

Dear Lana, It sounds strange, but it would be unwise for me to comment without knowing what they mean. It is of course technically impossible for RPKM to be negative binomial or Poisson because RPKM values are not integers.
