RNA-Sequencing datasets normalization method

How To Allen Human Brain Atlas
1

Hi team,

I downloaded two bulk RNA-seq datasets (H0351.2001, H0351.2002) from this link: Microarray Data Download :: Allen Brain Atlas: Human Brain .

I was planning to comparing to use the TPM values to check my gene of interest. However I noticed all values in “RNAseqTPM.csv” for each of the donor is extremely small (probably scaled by 10^(-6)) compare to other database (TPM values) for the same gene.

I’m curious how to interpret the numeric values in these RNAseqTPM.csv files. How the “TPM” is calculated? It didn’t look like a standard TPM values to me.

Thanks

Irene
