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

Isoprene Acts as a Signaling Molecule in Gene Networks Important for Stress Responses and Plant Growth
Zhaojiang Zuo,Sarathi M. Weraduwage,Alexandra T. Lantz,Lydia M Sanchez,Sean E. Weise,Jie Wang,Kevin L. Childs,Thomas D. Sharkey +7 more
TL;DR: A role for isoprene as a signaling molecule is supported, which likely executes its effects on growth and stress tolerance through direct regulation of gene expression and may trigger a growth-defense tradeoff leading to variations in the growth response.

Controlling bias and inflation in epigenome- and transcriptome-wide association studies using the empirical null distribution
TL;DR: It is shown that EWASs and TWASs are prone not only to significant inflation but also bias of the test statistics and that these are not properly addressed by GWAS-based methodology and a novel approach based on the estimation of the empirical null distribution using Bayesian statistics is developed.

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.
