It does look like you may have done something wrong. In fact, the
output
doesn't make sense to me. The CPM and average logCPM values output by
edgeR should be unchanged regardless of the comparison you are
testing, so
the two output tables you give cannot be from the same data. And you
seem
to have wildtype samples only??
Normalization of ncRNA reads is very challenging, but there seems a
much
more basic problem here.
In the absence of any code leading to the output given, it is
impossible
to say more.
