Differential Expression for bulk RNAs

Assumption for most normalization and differential expression analysis tools: The expression levels of most genes are similar, i.e., not differentially expressed.
a) DEseq: defines scaling factor (also known as size factor) estimates based on a pseudoreferencesample, which is built with the geometric mean of gene counts across all cells (samples).
b) EdgeR (TMM): trimmed mean of M values
c) Wilcox Test using RPM: Read counts Per Million of total mapped reads; alternatives: RPKM, TPM
Performance:
Identify differential expressed genes for other RNA types. between differential conditions, i.e. Normal Control (NC) V.S. HCC using three methods: edgeR, DESeq2 and Wilcox/Mann-Whitney-U Test.
Draw Venn plot to show the difference among the above three methods.
