I will check wether this was the case !

Thanks again

Subject: Re: edgeR on ncRNA analysis question


Dear Alessandro,

In the usual edgeR pipeline, one does not construct different datasets to
make different comparisons.  Rather the idea is to analyse all the samples
together, and simply to test different comparisons.  Scale normalization
is done only once.

Best wishes
Gordon
