A Zipf-plot based normalization method for high-throughput RNA-seq data.

Normalization is crucial in RNA-seq data analyses. Due to the existence of excessive zeros and a large number of small measures, it is challenging to find reliable linear rescaling normalization parameters. We propose a Zipf plot based normalization method (ZN) assuming that all gene profiles have s...
