Compared to RNA-sequencing transcript differential analysis, gene-level differential expression analysis is more robust and experimentally actionable. However, the use of gene counts for statistical analysis can mask transcript-level dynamics. We demonstrate that 'analysis first, aggregation second,' where the p values derived from transcript analysis are aggregated to obtain gene-level results, increase sensitivity and accuracy. The method we propose can also be applied to transcript compatibil ...[more]
