 Whther can I use the normalization function to normalize my raw read counts and the perform the paired t-test to find the differicential expression genes? As we know paired t-test demands normal distribution.

hi,

We recommend you to use the DESeq() function in DESeq2, as this is likely more powerful than a paired t-test. To account for the pairs you should use a design of the form: ~ individual + condition

I want to know that if I have to perform paired t-test.I normorlize my raw counts by this way rather than rpkm values.Is it suitable?

Can you explain why you have to perform paired t-tests?

You don't need to use a paired t-test to account for matching of sample sources. It is done when you include a factor for the sample source in the linear model.
