  • Getting normalized counts

    Hello,

    I've tried to find differential expression with edgeR and DESeq2. These packages normalize my count data first, but they do not automatically provide normalized read counts to the end user. Any ideas how to obtain them through a series of R commands? Where could I look for this?

    Thank you in advance!

    For DESeq2, use the counts function, passing as arguments the DESeqDataSet object created by your call to the function DESeq, and the argument, normalized=True.

    The function will return an integer matrix.
    In the following example, I convert the matrix to a data frame.

    Code:
    # Create a DESeqDataSet object, and perform calculattions.
    dds <- DESeqDataSetFromHTSeqCount(sampleTable=sampleTable, directory="../../htseqcount", design= ~ condition)
    dds <- DESeq(dds)
    
    # Calculate and save the annotated normalized counts.
    normalized.counts <- as.data.frame(counts( dds, normalized=TRUE ))
    As to where you can get this information, you should read the DESeq2 vignette.
    It is quite complete, and updated regularly.
    After reading it a dozen times , I have a clearer idea how to use DESeq2, especially for more complex analyses, like multi-factorial analyses.
    The Bioconductor project aims to develop and share open source software for precise and repeatable analysis of biological data. We foster an inclusive and collaborative community of developers and data scientists.

      For the edgeR verions, just:
      Code:
      normalized.counts <- 1e6 * cpm(dge)
      where "dge" is a DGEList.

        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...
