    fold change for genes with 0 reads

    I am comparing Illumina RNA-seq data sets for differentially expressed genes. A significant number of genes have 0 reads in one of the two conditions. What is the best way to include these genes? Is it acceptable to subsitute the 0 in the numerator or denominator with another number to get an approximate idea of the fold change?

    Thanks!

      This appears to be a cross post. FAQ says not to do this...

      In case anyone lands on this one, the post that has generated discussion is here.

              16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
              by SEQadmin2




              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...

              Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
              by SEQadmin2



              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              ...
