SelectBCM tool: a batch evaluation framework to select the most appropriate batch-correction methods for bulk transcriptome analysis.

ABSTRACT: Bulk transcriptomes are an essential data resource for understanding basic and disease biology. However, integrating information from different experiments remains challenging because of the batch effect generated by various technological and biological variations in the transcriptome. Numerous batch-correction methods to deal with this batch effect have been developed in the past. However, a user-friendly workflow to select the most appropriate batch-correction method for the given set of experiments is still missing. We present the SelectBCM tool that prioritizes the most appropriate batch-correction method for a given set of bulk transcriptomic experiments, improving biological clustering and gene differential expression analysis. We demonstrate the applicability of the SelectBCM tool o
