[BioC] Using proportions...

[Wolfgang Huber]

There are of course several other papers on this topic authored by 
people on this list and by contributors to Bioconductor, e.g. a 
particularly placative one:

Nat Biotechnol. 2011 Jul 11;29(7):572-3. doi: 10.1038/nbt.1910.
Sequencing technology does not eliminate biological variability.
Hansen KD, Wu Z, Irizarry RA, Leek JT.
