the mean abundance for transcript X is the same in population A and population B. transcripts flag as differentially expressed population A population B
regression models: model A: includes “disease” as covariate model B: does not include disease aaa Y is expression (# of RNA-seq reads) X is “disease status” if model A fits better than model B, then disease status has something to do with expression of that transcript
