RNA sequencing of two samples

How I can compare the expression value for two genes in the two samples? & What the measure I can use in the comparison have been arrived at?

sequencing rna-seq

If you only have 2 samples, there is a minimal amount of things that you can do. You should still normalise them together and then just look at, for example, ratio of expression for your gene of interest. p-values for a 1 vs 1 comparison make little sense - you would be laughed out of the room if you presented p-values for n=2
