i hava the RNAseq coutns data and fpkm data from TCGA, i want to know the fold change of tumor tissue RNAseq expression contrast of normal tissue RNAseq expression ,counts data is the RNA reads number, fpkm data is similar to real RNA expression. i found that the logFC results from DESeq2 and edgeR analyse using counts data are different from that i use mean tumor fpkm data devide by normal fpkm data, i found that fold change in fpkm is sifferent from the DESeq2 and edgeR fold change results . which fold cahnge is better to choose ?
From what I know the fold change of edgeR and DESeq2 is calculated using normalization other than fpkm.
I would use one of edgeR or DESeq2.
thanks Udi Landau, i will use the logFC value of edgeR or DESeq2.
