Before running your statistical test, double-check that its assumptions hold. Violations can lead to misleading results. Here's a handy tool to help:

❓ Did you notice the Simpson's paradox?

🧬 Stranded vs. non-stranded RNA-seq impacts results. Comparing TPM/RPKM across these can be wrong.

⚠️ Tissue types express diverse RNA repertoires. Direct TPM comparisons across such different tissues are problematic

🧪 Different sample prep (polyA+ vs rRNA depletion) yields different RNA, skewing TPM comparisons.
