Dear list,

I got the biological coefficient of variation (BCV) with edgeR by
calcualting sqrt(tagwisedisp).
I'd would like to compare it with the BCV given by DeSeq. However I am not
sure what variable in DeSeq gives me the equivalent value for comparison.
Should I use the sqrt(perGeneDispEsts) or the sqrt(fittedDispEsts) function
provided by the fitInfo function?... or maybe none of them?

My naive expectation is that I should obtain with DeSeq very similar BCV
values for each gene to those obtained with edgeR, right?


Many thanks!
