I have got FPKM and some genes have really low FPKM and I am going to do stat analysis for all the genes; my question is the analysis should be like microArray analysis and need some cut-off numbers? any suggestion for this?

You could implement an approach like the one described in this paper: http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/...l.pcbi.1000598 in order to estimate the background RPKM/FPKM and arrive at a cutoff. It's based on looking at false positive and false negative rates based on a set of known genes and a set of control regions for which there is no evidence that they are being expressed.

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...10-30-2026, 06:46 AM -
Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
