Computational method makes gene expression analyses more accurate

Computational method makes gene expression analyses more accurate 03/08/2017 01:09 PM EST A new computational method can improve the accuracy of gene expression analyses, which are increasingly used to diagnose and monitor cancers and are a major tool for basic biological research. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, Stony Brook University and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute said their method is able to correct for the technical biases that are known to occur during RNA sequencing, the leading method for estimating gene expression.
