  • how to calculate counts per million

    Hi all,
    Could anyone tell how to calculate counts per million (CPM) manually? How it was calculated in edgeR related to RNA-seq data?

      Which edgeR CPM do you mean in particular? Do you mean the column called logCPM in the topTags table? That is computed using the aveLogCPM() function.

        To calculate CPM manually in R it would be :

        cpm <- apply(countmatrix,2, function(x) (x/sum(x))*1000000)

        # the 1 added to log function is to avoid log 0 values
        log.cpm <- log(cpm + 1)

        To calculate rpkm you have to know the gene lengths

          That is not quite the same as what edgeR's cpm() function does. It's somewhat better to offset the counts rather than the cpms.

            Yes, sorry, my mistake. The offset is added to the counts, not to the cpm.

              Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
              by seqadmin


              Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
