GC-Content Normalization for RNA-Seq Data
Open accessAbstract
Background: Transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq) has become the assay of choice for high-throughput studies of gene expression. However, as is the case with microarrays, major technology-related artifacts and biases affect the resulting expression measures. Normalization is therefore essential to ensure accurate inference of expression levels and subsequent analyses thereof. Results: We focus on biases related to GC-content and demonstrate the existence of strong sample-specific GC-content effects on RNA-Seq read counts, which can substantially bias differential expression analysis. We propose three simple within-lane gene-level GC-content normalization approaches and assess their performance on two different RNA-Seq datasets, involving different species and experimental designs. Our methods are compared to state-of-the-art normalization procedures in terms of bias and mean squared error for expression fold-change estimation and in terms of Type I error and p-value distributions for tests of differential expression. The exploratory data analysis and normalization methods proposed in this article are implemented in the open-source Bioconductor R package EDASeq. Conclusions: Our within-lane normalization procedures, followed by between-lane normalization, reduce GC-content bias and lead to more accurate estimates of expression fold-changes and tests of differential expression. Such results are crucial for the biological interpretation of RNA-Seq experiments, where downstream analyses can be sensitive to the supplied lists of genes.

![Figure 6 Yeast dataset: Proportion of DE genes vs. GC-content. Here, a gene is declared DE between the three growth conditions if its nominal unadjusted p-value from the negative binomial LRT is below the threshold of 10-5 (corresponding to a nominal Bonferroni family wise error rate of 0.057 and Benjamini & Hochberg [37] false discovery rate of 4.22 × 10-5). There is a clear trend towards more detected differential expression at higher GC-content with all within-lane normalization procedures but the full-quantile.](/paper-figures/133c4095c1b84462ae53508ba5e7f521/gc-content-normalization-for-rna-seq-data-figure-6.jpg)

“Notably, neither applying GC bias correction tools (cqn14 and EDASeq15) to individual sites nor changing read counts to only use 3′-UTRs was effective at decreasing the number of inter-site false positive DEGs (Fig. 1b and Supplementary Fig. 3); in most cases, these methods actually increased the number of false positives.”

In the citing paper
“The application of GC content bias correction packages including cqn14 and EDASeq15 could not remove these false positives, likely because GC content bias is not the only source that contributes to bias in gene expression data.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
