Scientists face a number of experimental design decisions, including the sample size. The power for detecting differential expression is affected by several factors, including the fraction of DE genes, distribution of the magnitude of DE, distribution of gene expression level, sequencing coverage and the choice of type I error control. The complexity and flexibility of RNA-seq experiments, the high-throughput nature of transcriptome-wide expression measurements and the unique characteristics of RNA-seq data make the power assessment particularly challenging.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results : We propose prospective power assessment instead of a direct sample size calculation by making assumptions on all of these factors. Our power assessment tool includes two components: (i) a semi-parametric simulation that generates data based on actual RNA-seq experiments with flexible choices on baseline expressions, biological variations and patterns of DE; and (ii) a power assessment component that provides a comprehensive view of power. We introduce the concepts of stratified power and false discovery cost, and demonstrate the usefulness of our method in experimental design (such as sample size and sequencing depth), as well as analysis plan (gene filtering).<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Availability : The proposed method is implemented in a freely available R software package PROPER.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Contact : hao.wu@emory.edu , zhijin_wu@brown.edu .<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Supplementary information: \u00a0Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btu640","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,2]],"date-time":"2014-10-02T06:07:10Z","timestamp":1412230030000},"page":"233-241","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":98,"title":["PROPER: comprehensive power evaluation for differential expression using RNA-seq"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Hao","family":"Wu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics, Emory University, Atlanta, GA 30322, 2 Department of Biostatistics and Markey Cancer Center, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40536 and 3 Department of Biostatistics, Brown University, Providence, RI 02806, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chi","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics, Emory University, Atlanta, GA 30322, 2 Department of Biostatistics and Markey Cancer Center, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40536 and 3 Department of Biostatistics, Brown University, Providence, RI 02806, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhijin","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics, Emory University, Atlanta, GA 30322, 2 Department of Biostatistics and Markey Cancer Center, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40536 and 3 Department of Biostatistics, Brown University, Providence, RI 02806, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023020116145433700_btu640-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"R106","DOI":"10.1186\/gb-2010-11-10-r106","article-title":"Differential expression analysis for sequence count data","volume":"11","author":"Anders","year":"2010","journal-title":"Genome Biol."},{"key":"2023020116145433700_btu640-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e17820","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0017820","article-title":"Evaluating gene expression in c57bl\/6j and dba\/2j mouse striatum using RNA-seq and microarrays","volume":"6","author":"Bottomly","year":"2011","journal-title":"PloS One"},{"key":"2023020116145433700_btu640-B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e1000480","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pbio.1000480","article-title":"Polymorphic cis-and trans-regulation of human gene expression","volume":"8","author":"Cheung","year":"2010","journal-title":"PLoS Biol."},{"key":"2023020116145433700_btu640-B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"101","DOI":"10.1038\/nature11233","article-title":"Landscape of transcription in human cells","volume":"489","author":"Djebali","year":"2012","journal-title":"Nature"},{"key":"2023020116145433700_btu640-B5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"280","DOI":"10.1093\/bib\/bbr004","article-title":"Design and validation issues in RNA-seq experiments","volume":"12","author":"Fang","year":"2011","journal-title":"Brief.
