    Simple effects in DESeq2

    Hello, this is probably a very simple point, but I want to make sure I understand this. In the DESeq2 ?results document it lists the following example (and comment):

    ## Example 2: two conditions, two genotypes, with an interaction term

    dds <- makeExampleDESeqDataSet(n=100,m=12)
    dds$genotype <- factor(rep(rep(c("I","II"),each=3),2))
    design(dds) <- ~ genotype + condition + genotype:condition
    dds <- DESeq(dds)
    resultsNames(dds)

    # Note: design with interactions terms by default have betaPrior=FALSE

    # the condition effect for genotype I (the main effect)
    results(dds, contrast=c("condition","B","A"))


    QUESTION:
    1. shouldn't what is called "the condition effect for genotype I (the main effect)" be called the simple effect for condition on genotype I?? The term "main effect" I am not sure is appropriate here as we are not averaging over all genotypes.
    2. If (1) is correct, how would one specify on DESeq2 a real main effect of B vs A averaged over all genotypes?

    Thank you,
    Ramiro

    Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
    by SEQadmin2


    I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.


    Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

    From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
    by SEQadmin2


    Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


    The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
