  • EdgeR test for differential expression.

    I'm reading the Robinson and Smyth's 2008 paper: Small-sample estimation of negative binomial dispersion, with applications to SAGE data

    Wondering if anyone can clarify the final test being used to determine differential expression for me? The variant of fishers exact.

    As I'm reading it, from section 5.2 (and from the help(exactTest()), it seems that the adjusted counts (Za and Zb) for the two conditions are added together to form another NB distribution and then it tests where in the summed distribution, the counts for Za are? That seems ... overly simple.

    Is that right? Am I even looking in the right place for an explanation of how this works? Robinson et. al's 2010 edger note suggest this paper. And I can't see it clearly explained in the Zhou, Lindsay, Robinson 2014 paper either.

    Cheers
    Ben.

    Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
    by seqadmin


    Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...

    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...
