Description
Create a new Markdown that uses 72_F3H_PollenTube/results/muday-144-SL5_counts-salmon.txt as input and outputs the same exact file except that the values are scaled using the EdgeR "cpm" function.
The Markdown should answer the question: Did the scaling "work" ? That is, do the observed differences in expression (e.g., scaled numeric values per gene per sample) reflect actual biological variation and not sequencing depth variation.
Identify control genes that you don't expect to exhibit changes in expression in response to the treatments being tested.
Ask the Muday lab (Gloria) for some examples.
Make barcharts that show before and after scaling for a set of genes you do not expect to change in response to time or treatment. If the scaling worked, then all the samples should have the same height, or all samples within the same time duration should have the same height.
Name it: MakeScaledCountsFile.Rmd and save the output to "results"
Name the output the same thing as the input but with "scaled" in the name.
