[BioC] DEseq for chip-seq data normalisation

[Ying Wu]

Hi Rory,
Could you give some insight into why TMM is used with full library size, 
it seems to make sense for effective library size case but where full 
library size is used, would it still be valid to try and minimize 
changes between conditions?

Best,
-Ying
