Hi, I have got a set of RNA-seq data with the control sample having around 8 million reads and the treated samples in the range of 13-17 million reads. I was wondering if DESeq can handle this kind of difference in number of reads between samples? Or a down sampling of reads is necessary before DESeq?

hi Rushiraj, The DESeq/DESeq2 model takes care of differences in library size through estimation of a size factor, s_j in Equation (2) in the paper here http://genomebiology.com/2010/11/10/r106 See the manual page ?estimateSizeFactors for DESeq/DESeq2.

Dear Sir, Thank you for your guidance. :) I will proceed with my analysis.
