variancePartition is a tool to partition and visualize gene variation diverging from a general trend in RNA-seq datasets. The variancePartition algorithm uses a linear mixed model and partitions traits with differences in, for example, disease status, sex, cell or tissue type, genetic background, experimental conditions, and technical variation.
Gene expression; RNA-Seq
