 If you would like to perform differential gene expression analysis with RNA-seq data obtained from refine.bio, you may want to choose to skip quantile normalization, as many methods designed for this problem expect unnormalized counts.
 refine.bio will not provide unnormalized counts when you skip quantile normalization, but it will provide output that can be used for testing differential gene expression (see [Skipping quantile normalization for RNA-seq experiments](http://docs.refine.bio/en/latest/main_text.html#skipping-quantile-normalization-for-rna-seq-experiments) for links to the relevant vignette).
 Note that skipping this step will make a dataset less comparable to other data obtained from refine.bio, as quantile normalization ensures that each sample's underlying distribution is the same (see [Quantile normalizing samples for delivery](http://docs.refine.bio/en/latest/main_text.html#quantile-normalizing-samples-for-delivery)).
