I'm analyzing the expression levels of certain genes in different tissues with data from a database and I need to count two different genes as one because I know by experimental data that they were erroneously annotated.
The expression levels in the database are in FPKM and I know I can't simple make the sum of the two genes to count it as one.
If I had raw counts what I would do is
gene A = 400, gene B = 300, counting them as a single gene = 700.
what would be the best thing to do this with FPKMs?
gene A = 12 FPKM
gene B = 20 FPKM
as single gene = x ?
