Dear edgeR users and developers,
we used Solexa sequencing in order to detect RNase E processing sites.
Therefor we splitted a RNA sample and treated one half with RNase E
prior to cDNA synthesis and sequencing. The libraries differ in size
(1.918.953 and 1.208.586 reads respectively) which clearly
necessitates
a normalization step. Furthermore we expect site specific differences
rather than differences in the accumulation of the full length RNAs.
So I want to ask, if it is appropiate to do a single nucleotide based
normalization with edgeR and do you think a reliable basic
normalization
is possible without replicates?
Thank you for your comments.
Best regards
Jens
