ncing reads hitting a gene of a replicate, i.e., the sequencing count

plicate for one gene. Table 6.4 shows such a count matrix used to

how genes contribute to the airway smooth muscle cytokine

[Himes, et al., 2014], where there were two experimental

s and each condition had four replicates. The objective of

g such a sequencing count matrix was to find out which subset of

differentially expressed across two conditions.

A count matrix after the sequencing reads have been mapped to a reference

ach count represents the times the sequencing reads hit a gene. Gene IDs were

by removing prefix ENSG00000000 and sample IDs were shortened by

refix SRR10395. This means the full ID of gene 003 was ENSG00000000003

ID of sample 08 was SRR1039508.
