Summary

This work proposes a normalization strategy, called remove unwanted variation (RUV), that adjusts for nuisance technical effects by performing factor analysis on suitable sets of control genes or samples and leads to more accurate estimates of expression fold-changes and tests of differential expression compared to state-of-the-art normalization methods.
