| Description: |
Normalization is a crucial step in proteomics data analysis as it enables data adjustment and enhances comparability between datasets by minimizing multiple sources of variability, such as sampling, sample handling, storage, treatment, and mass spectrometry measurements. In this study, we investigated different normalization methods, including Z-score normalization, median divide normalization, and quantile normalization, to evaluate their performance using a case study based on renal cell carcinoma datasets. Our results demonstrate that when comparing datasets by pairs, both the Z-score and quantile normalization methods consistently provide better results in terms of the number of proteins identified and quantified as well as in identifying statistically significant up or down-regulated proteins. However, when three or more datasets are compared at the same time the differences are found to be negligible. |
