  • time course multi-factor design with DESeq2

    Hi,

    I'm looking for some help on the analysis of a multi-factor design with DESeq2.

    I have a 4-factor experiment:
    Groups: A (8 Donors), B (4 Donors), C (4 Donors), D (4 Donors)
    Treatment: Control vs Infection
    Time: 8h, 16h, 24h

    The approach I took was combining all 3 factors (Group, Treatment, Time) into a single factor and using design=~ Donor + Group_Treatment_Time.

    Then I looped through time points and through treatments to get differential expressed genes between two groups for each treatment and time-point:

    res <- results(dds, c("Group_Treatment_Time", paste("A", treatment, timepoint, sep="-"), paste("B", treatment, timepoint, sep="-")))

    However, I want to take advantage of the time course. In particular, I'm interested in time-specific differences:
    i) between control and infection for each group
    ii) between groups for control (or infection)

    and I'm interested in finding genes with a difference in baseline expression (a main effect), ie lines moving in parallel:
    iii) between control and infection for each group
    iv) between groups for control (or infection)

    My questions are:

    1) Should I use a different design and LRT to find all genes with time-specific differences? How should that design be with 4 different factors?

    2) How should I set up the contrasts for the cases i) to iv)?

    Thank you so much for your help! I've read the vignette, many threads on the web, and talked to a couple of colleagues but I am still confused about how to run this analysis.

    Regards,
    Ana

    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...
