Hello everyone,
I have some basic questions regarding the differential expression results obtained from nuclear counts and unspliced counts in single-nucleus data.
For instance, certain groups of gene expressions are upregulated when computing DEGs using nuclear counts, while the same gene expressions are downregulated when using unspliced counts. I am curious about the biological meaning behind this discrepancy.
From my understanding, nuclear counts primarily capture the transcriptional dynamics, whereas unspliced counts represent changes in pre-mRNA levels.
I would greatly appreciate your advice.
Thank you,
Akila
