We have an RNA-Seq dataset with two measurements (concentration and weight) and would like to know how these two factor influence our gene expression.
To solve this question we would like to apply a linear mixed-model with the two measurements as random variables ( or fixed?).
Can anyone point me to where I can find some more information about how to apply linear mixed-model onto an RNA-Seq dataset?
Do I need to apply the model for the complete data set or for each of the genes separately? The two measurements are sample specific (and not gene-specific).
thanks
