I’m trying to identify differentially expressed genes between two conditions, and would like to use the ERCC spike-ins as control genes when estimating size factors using DESeq2.
I can’t find the annotations for these spike ins and none of the genes or transcripts (OmicsExpressionTranscriptsExpectedCountProfile
or OmicsExpressionGeneExpectedCountProfile
) are clearly annotated as ERCC spike ins. Are these filtered prior to publication? Is there any way I can access these?
