  • log normalization of RPKM values in voom

    I have a question about using voom() on TPM (or RPKM) values. I have TPM values on gene level for 200 samples, and I want to use voom() function to log-normalize the data. I will use the output voom(dge,design,plot=FALSE)$E, from Voom, to run a linear regression model myself for DE analysis (so I'm NOT using Limma afterwards).
    My question is whether this is a correct thing to do? In other words, is the log-normalization method used in voom() applicable to RPKM values?
    If this is not a correct thing to do, what other method you suggest for normalization or transformation of the RPKM values before doing a DE analysis?
    I'd deeply appreciate any kind of comment or suggestion.

    Thanks,
    Golsheed

    Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
    by seqadmin


    Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...

    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...
