Getting a list of genes expressed

Question

[snp87]

Hello! I am trying to look at genes that are expressed in a population of cells without comparing to another cell's transcriptomic data (obtained through RNAseq). Does anyone have any suggestions for which tool might be best to get a list of genes that are expressed sorted according to expression level?

Thanks!

I guess use edgeR and perform a cutoff on the CPM

Have a look at the zFPKM paper, since that's a method directly for this.
