  • change default FDR on edgeR

    Hi,

    Could anyone please tell me how to change the FDR from default (0.05) to 0.0001 in edgeR?

    et <- exactTest(y, pair=c("1","2"))
    out.adjusted <- topTags(et, n=Inf, adjust.method="BH")
    out.adjusted.keep <- out$table$FDR <= 0.0001

    I'm not sure if i understand this correctly, topTags function with adjust.method will adjust the pvalues from et, using BH/FDR set at 5%, which is the default. then, the FDR column of the output file are the adjusted p.values, on this case retaining only those with <=0.0001 values.

    appreciate your help!

    The BH/FDR method corrects your pvalues according to their number and distribution, there is no threshold to set there. Maybe the 5% you refer to is the usual threshold people use to filter results. So, if you want to keep genes with FDR < 0.0001 it seems to me that your code is fine (by the way <0.0001 is very stringent, if you have many genes maybe consider shareholding also on logFC and logCPM).

      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...
