Differential gene expression analysis tools exhibit substandard performance for long non-coding RNA-sequencing data

Abstract Background Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are typically expressed at low levels and are inherently highly variable. This is a fundamental challenge for differential expression (DE) analysis. In this study, the performance of 25 pipelines for testing DE in RNA-seq data is comprehensively eva...
