Bead-based signal normalization and cross-batch harmonization for CyTOF and high-parameter cytometry - EQ four-element bead normalization of instrument sensitivity drift (CATALYST normCytof, premessa), and reference-anchor cross-batch normalization (CytoNorm, per-cluster quantile splines). Covers the distinction between within-run drift correction and between-batch correction, the mandatory anchor/reference sample, why normalization is per-cluster with many quantiles, and the over-correction risk. Use when correcting CyTOF signal drift, harmonizing multi-batch or multi-site studies, or deciding whether to normalize data versus model batch in the design.

Covers spillover-matrix estimation from single-stain controls, AutoSpill, the spillover spreading matrix and why panel design (not compensation) bounds resolution, compensate-then-transform ordering, and arcsinh cofactor choice (5 for CyTOF, ~150 for fluorescence, per-channel via flowVS).

Identifies differential m6A methylation between conditions from MeRIP-seq paired IP/input data using exomePeak2 (GC-bias-aware differential via its bam_ip/bam_input control + bam_treated_ip/bam_treated_input treatment arms), QNB beta-binomial, MeTDiff HMM, and RADAR, plus the paired-symmetric edgeR/DESeq2-on-peak-counts route when batch/lot covariates need fixed-effect handling that exomePeak2's API does not accept. Covers paired vs unpaired vs interaction designs, batch confounding and per-lot meta-analysis, the stoichiometry-vs-expression-vs-IP-efficiency confound, and effect-size filtering against under-powered N=2 designs. Use when comparing m6A across two or more conditions, choosing between exomePeak2/QNB/RADAR/MeTDiff for a design, handling batch confounding when exomePeak2's API is too rigid, distinguishing real hyper/hypo-methylation from expression shifts, applying effect-size thresholds, or planning orthogonal stoichiometry validation (GLORI/SAC-seq/m6Anet mod_ratio).
