TLDR
New normal linear modeling strategies are presented for analyzing read counts from RNA-seq experiments, and the voom method estimates the mean-variance relationship of the log-counts, generates a precision weight for each observation and enters these into the limma empirical Bayes analysis pipeline.Abstract:
New normal linear modeling strategies are presented for analyzing read counts from RNA-seq experiments. The voom method estimates the mean-variance relationship of the log-counts, generates a precision weight for each observation and enters these into the limma empirical Bayes analysis pipeline. This opens access for RNA-seq analysts to a large body of methodology developed for microarrays. Simulation studies show that voom performs as well or better than count-based RNA-seq methods even when the data are generated according to the assumptions of the earlier methods. Two case studies illustrate the use of linear modeling and gene set testing methods.read more

Statistics or biology: the zero-inflation controversy about scRNA-seq data
TL;DR: The authors discuss the sources of biological and non-biological zeros in single-cell RNA-seq data, introduce five mechanisms of adding non-biological zeros to computational benchmarking, evaluate the impacts of nonbiologically zeros on data analysis, benchmark three input data types: observed counts, imputed counts, and binarized counts; discuss the open questions regarding non-biology zeros; and advocate the importance of transparent analysis.

edgeR: a Bioconductor package for differential expression analysis of digital gene expression data.
TL;DR: EdgeR as mentioned in this paper is a Bioconductor software package for examining differential expression of replicated count data, which uses an overdispersed Poisson model to account for both biological and technical variability and empirical Bayes methods are used to moderate the degree of overdispersion across transcripts, improving the reliability of inference.
