Bayesian RNA-seq Differential Expression — Bayesian DE Analysis of RNA Sequencing Data

Bayesian RNA-seq differential expression analysis applies hierarchical Bayesian models to RNA sequencing read-count data to identify genes whose expression levels differ significantly between biological conditions. Rather than relying solely on p-values, these methods quantify the posterior probability that a gene is differentially expressed, borrowing statistical strength across genes and naturally accommodating low sample sizes common in genomics experiments.
