in an RNA-seq experiment, what threshold would you use to define a set of expressed or active genes in a cell line?
I am trying to define a set of expressed (active) genes in my cell line for some downstream analysis. What would be your approach for defining this subset of active genes from an RNA-seq experiments? is there a minimum fpkm you would use? some standard deviation from normalized expression?
