Variability in donor leukocyte counts confound the use of common RNA sequencing data normalization strategies in transcriptomic biomarker studies performed with whole blood

Abstract Gene expression data generated from whole blood via next generation sequencing is frequently used in studies aimed at identifying mRNA-based biomarker panels with utility for diagnosis or monitoring of human disease. These investigations often employ data normalization techniques more typic...
