I don't know rpy2-bioconductor - and don't see the benefit either.

I've been using R and bioconductor via rpy2 for years now - it's a solid combo, especially in combination with pandas.

A t-test is dependend on the effect size - and that obviously changes if you do log2.
The general rule is to test on the data you measure - in this case, this would be the un-logged reads per...

You know because a library of a million 'effective reads' (after dedup) distributed in the largish genome of a mammal isn't useful, and no antibody is so good that you'll only get the enriched...

Possible it's fish dna from the bead blocking.

Not disk space, RAM - STAR uses quite a lot of ram to generate it's index (last time I checked, 16 GB were not enough for a human genome)

The genomes you can download from the STAR website have already been prepared - no need to run genomeGenerate on them again. Just skip ahead to the alignment stage.

It's not straight forward, since you'll need to retrieve all the exons and join them by hand.

Barplots are nice, but they do hide the original intensities measured.

What were your genes ct and absolute tag counts (out of how many reads)?

Start with the peaks with the most reads. Well, actually, skip the first 10 or so that have x-thousand reads - they're usually artifacts. You're looking for something in the 95%th but not in the...

log(a / b) = log(a) - log(b),

so you can do what you're proposing, but you have to substract the two logs, not divide them.

A) Very much so.
B) Either that or your ChIP did not work.

Hm. Sounds to me like a very low complexity library - I have seen one or two of those, but can only speculate about the reason.
Perhaps very low amounts of input dna with too many PCR cycles?
