Read coverage bias

I have a list of 12000 transcripts out of which 1500 are novel. I performed an HTSeq count to get the read counts for all the 12000 transcripts. I segregated the 1500 novel counts and other non novel. Normalized both using TPM, however I find that the novel list has far higher TPM values compared to the non novel ones. Why is my result biased?

You need to calculate your TPMs before splitting your novel transcripts from non-novel transcripts. This will allow you to directly compare the abundance between them.

Thanks a lot Trivas. My results seem to be right now.
