Machine Learning-Assisted RNA-seq Differential Expression Analysis
Machine learning-assisted RNA-seq differential expression analysis augments classical statistical DE testing (DESeq2, edgeR, limma-voom) with ML models — including neural networks, random forests, and variational autoencoders — to better handle the high dimensionality, zero-inflation, and batch effects inherent in RNA-seq count data. The approach improves feature selection, noise reduction, and detection power, especially in large or complex experimental designs.
