Hi Michael, Yes the regions that are added after GC correction are mostly regions with very low read count and while some correspond to genes/regions I know from beforehand are not different, others mark regions that on looking at the bedgraph tracks show no difference in the read count.

Also the normalization factors are correctly taking into account sequencing depth, which is what I wanted to check on by looking at scatterplots for normalized counts of pairs of samples. I took a look at the results, and I also see as you say, the additional genes after using GC correction: > res <- results(dds) > res2 <- results(dds2_nongc) > table(gc.correct=res$padj < .1, no.correct=res2$padj < .1) no.correct gc.correct FALSE TRUE FALSE 20810 143 TRUE 368 472 Ideally, we can have additional genes showing up as significant if we have reduced technical noise through modeling the normalization factors using the technical covariates like GC content. But you suspect these new genes. Can you explain how you know that these are false positive? And is it just the genes which are added after GC correction which are enriched with FP?

There is a lot of heterogeneity in the samples due to clinical differences ( tumor stage etc), total mapped reads ( some samples are much better than the others), batch effects ( since they were processed at different times and not by the same person). I wanted to correct atleast some of the biases starting with GC content and what I did was to use offsets from EDAseq as an input to DESeq2 and introduced the batch variable in the model. >> >> What I dont understand is that when I corrected for GC bias in the samples, the final results tend to have a lot of false positives.
