    BiSeq - How to handle covariates?

    Hi,

    I am attempting to use BiSeq (Hebestreit et al. 2013) to delineate DMRs among treatment groups in Bismark aligned RRBS data

    I have made a successful preliminary run through of the BiSeq workflow using my data but now I would like account for the effects of a covariate on DMR identification. BiSeq can apparently be made to work with covariates but I can't find any advice in the user guide as to how to go about doing this

    I have tried modifying the betaRegression() formula parameter to take into account metadata (where the covariate values are stored) as a covariate:

    RSbetaResults <- betaRegression(formula = ~group + metadata,
    link = "probit",
    object = RSpredictedMeth,
    type = "BR")

    Unfortunately, this did not work

    Any suggestions/advice would be gratefully received

    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.
