About this Class

This lesson introduces the principles of differential gene expression (DEG) analysis. Participants will learn about common normalization strategies and gain a conceptual understanding of the statistical frameworks used by widely adopted DEG tools, including limma, edgeR, and DESeq2, with an emphasis on their assumptions, strengths, and appropriate use cases. This is not a hands-on lesson.
