  • P-Val not significant for diff expressed genes

    Dear All,
    I have doubt regarding P-Val of diff expressed genes. kindly help
    Doubt : I have list of genes which have p-val not significant (>= 0.05) and all the genes are diff expressed (log 2 FC >= 1 or Log2FC <= -1).
    Number of the genes is very huge (~3.5k). looking at the Log2 of all these genes, they are diff expressed then why p-val are not significant ? How the p-val been calculated for diff expressed genes? Which factors are taking in the consideration in p-val calculation for diff exp genes?
    Here, if i consider p-val (<= 0.05 )for the diff exp genes then probably I miss the many genes which are truly diff expressed.
    These results are generated through DESeq.I have also tried cuffdiff for this data and same results i got from there also
    FYI : I don't have any technical replicants for this data
    Please give your inputs and possible explanation
    Ant help would be appreciated
    Thank you

    This has nothing to do with differential expression, rather it's a failure to understand basic statistics. In short, fold-change isn't an effect size. It has no incorporation of variance, by it's vary nature. However, the reliability of a measurement is dependent on both the fold-change and the variance.

      Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
      by seqadmin


      Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
