Do I need to correct for sequencing depth in bulk RNA seq?
Hello,
I had 6 samples sequenced in a facility and most of them have similar amount of reads except for one that has twice as much. Do I need to do anything to correct for this?
I aligned with Kallisto and I was going to use either DESeq2 or EdgeR to do differential analysis. From what I understood reading at the documentation both of those packages correct for sequencing depth. Is that enough or do I need to perform any other correction?
Thank you

Start your analysis and normalize as is typical. Unless it proves an outlier via PCA or such, there's no need to worry about it.

I recommend doing a PCA and seeing if you see the samples are grouped as expected or not. Also, see if the highly sequenced one is separated from the others.
