I am still working on preparing the data for running DEXSeq. I have a question. Will DEXSeq work if there are more than two conditions, e.g. cond1,cond2,cond3.. Thanks!

The original paper has both single-end and paired-end data:
RNA-seq is a powerful tool for the study of alternative splicing and other forms of alternative isoform expression. Understanding the regulation of these processes requires sensitive and specific detection of differential isoform abundance in comparisons between conditions, cell types, or tissues. W …

DEXSeq multiple tissues
Originally posted by areyes View PostYes it will. If you run an analysis with all your conditions, it will show those exons in which at least in one condition is different from the other conditions.
Hello,
I have 37 RNA-seq datasets for 18 human tissues - some have 3 replicates, some 2 and some do not have any (sorry to say that).
I'm thinking of a way to do differential exon usage analysis - using DEXseq.
I could not see any example in the documentation where multiple conditions are compared (eg., tissues) other than pairwise comparisons. In edgeR, I was able to use the ANOVA-like test for getting differentially expressed genes (across an average of all 18 tissues). I was wondering if there is such a test I could do with DESeq/DEXseq.
Thanks,
Manoj.

I have RNA-Seq paired-ends data for 3 conditions: Control (4 biological replicates), Leukemic cells with mutation in gene X (6 biological replicates) and Leukemic cells without mutation in gene X (4 biological replicates).
One of the questions I try to answer is the differential exon usage induced by this mutation. I am using DEXSeq_1.8.0.
Basically, I need to compare exon level in leukemic cells with and without the mutation.
Since I have additional information with the control, I would like to output the genes that show a differential expression in at least one exon between both conditions leukemic cells with and without the mutation, with in addition the level for the controls.
To be clear, I don't want to see the genes that show a differential expression in at least one exon between conditions leukemic cells with or without the mutation and the control.
Is it possible with DEXSeq?
If not, I have 2 choices: either I "loose" the information from the control condition or I see all the changes including those that do not come from the mutation (that's what I did for now).
Thank you in advance,
Jane

Hi @Jane M,
You could try to change the GLM formulas to include all the variables of your analysis. First, I would recommend updating your R and DEXSeq version. if your design data frame looks like this:
Code:phenotype mutatedGene control no control no control no control no leukemia yes leukemia yes leukemia yes leukemia yes leukemia yes leukemia yes leukemia no leukemia no leukemia no leukemia no
Code:formulaFullModel <- ~ sample + exon + phenotype:exon + mutatedGene:exon formulaReducedModel <- ~ sample + exon + phenotype:exon

Thinking about it again, I am not sure what will be the output of the testing. To add the "phenotype" as a blocking factor we would also need samples with phenotype "control" and mutatedGene "yes". Of course this is not possible in this experiment! How do the "plotDEXSeq" plots look like?
Maybe would be good to try to use the "formulaFullModel" to estimate dispersions, and the testing doing ignoring the "phenotype" variable...
Let me know what comes out!

Hi Jose,
The default formula would test for differences in exon usage in any of the conditions.
If you are interested in the specific changes between H24-CTRL and between H48-CTRL it is better to subset the data accordingly and run the analysis separately.

Thanks Alejandro,
I thought something similar to to what Mike uses in DESeq2 could be used in DEXSeq but with exons behind is harder.
I'll subset the two and do it separately.

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-
