Statistical model, advantages, disadvantages and applications of Deseq2 and edgeR pipelines.

Features DESeq2 [51] edgeR [52]
Statistical Model Negative binomial model Negative binomial model
Advantages Suitable for data sets with minor variability; user-friendly interface Speed and robust approach for small data sets
Disadvantages Lower speed; Less sensitivity for data sets with high biological variability Reduced sensitivity for data sets with low biological variability
Typical Applications Analyses under controlled experimental conditions with well-defined control groups [53]. Analysis of complex datasets with high variability [54].
