Differential expression method for N=1 (Treatment) vs multiple control samples

Can some one please suggest what is the best normalization and differential expression method for RNASEQ N=1 treatment vs N control samples (both treatment and control samples generated from different centers,libraries and sequencers)

Thanks in advance

rna-seq differential-expression

If your treatment and control samples were generated by different centers then no method will produce reliable results unless you know a priori of a set of genes unaffected by the treatment.

Do you recommend gfold? for exploratory investigation of RNA-seq with no replicates? or are there others that will still run with no replicates? Thanks.

As Devon said, you can not expect reliable results, but if you do want to try, check GFold,
