  • DESeq and GSEA with pre-ranked gene list

    Hi all,

    I've been using DESeq for my RNA-Seq differential expression analysis. Now I want to use the DESeq result to generate a ranked-list, which will be used as the input in GSEA. My question is: Should I rank the genes using the fold changes or using the q-values?

    Thanks.

    How to combine GSEA with RNA-Seq is still unclear and subject to ongoing research. We (and other groups, I suppose) are looking at a couple of options.

    If you want something now, try using the moderate log fold change that are now reported by the newest version of DESeq. This is not ideal, and I don't want to even say that it is statistically sound, but it is probably better than using p values or raw fold changes.

      I'm also interested in using RNA-Seq differential expression results as a ranked list into GSEA. Any new thoughts since last August on more appropriately ranking the genes coming out of DE analysis for GSEA (or other gene enrichment analyses)?

        Have you looked into SeqGSEA ?

          Hello Simon,

          since this is such an old post, I figured I'd ask if there were any advances on the issue - either from your group or anybody else?

          I've tried few things but I quite come up with a criterion about what's working and what's not. Is using Wald statistic in pre-ranked GSEA a bad idea?

          Thank you for any input in advance.

            This is good, but it kind of forces you to use their own differential expression analysis. I would like to stick with DESeq2, and then use the results in GSEA.

                I haven't done any testing on what output is best for downstream set analysis. I recently wrote a post on Bioc support site on how to produce a discrete output (yes/no DE) from DESeq2 for use with the Bioc package goseq. Another option would be to use the moderated LFC or Wald statistic as a continuous signal.

                  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...
