  • log(2) fold change in RNA seq

    *HELP with RNA seq data*

    I have a question about Log(2) change 🤓I understand that this some measure of the change in transcript levels when comparing 2 treatments and is a ratio between the 2 treatment groups. What I cannot understand though is how to interpret the numbers. A log(2) fold change of more than 1 means enrichment (I think) and a negative log(2) fold enrichment is lower transcript levels (I think). Since log(2) fold change is a ratio, what does a log(2) change that is a positive value but less than 1 (+0 to 0.99) mean?

    In an attempt to clarify my question: I have a table of log(2) fold changes that I am trying to interpret. I think a log(2) fold change of 2.2 = enrichment; a log(2) fold change of -0.33 is lower transcript levels (is this a correct interpretation?). What is a log(2) fold change of 0.67?

    Any help is much appreciated

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
