  • Design matrix for edgeR help

    Hi,

    I am attempting to create a design matrix in edgeR to determine differentially expressed genes, but I am unsure on the notation to use as I am relatively new to R and not a statistician in any way.

    Basically, the experimental design is as follows:

    We have two treatments (A and B), each treatment had two cages and in each cage, there were 3 mice. Therefore in total, we have 6 mice for each treatment, coming from 2 cages for each treatment (total of 4 cages). We are not interested in the effect of the different cages, but are interested in differentially expressed genes between the 2 treatments (A and B).

    So what I was wondering is what the design matrix would be taking into account that cage is nested in treatment. Would it be one of the following or something completely different:

    PHP Code:
    design <- model.matrix(~cage/treatment)

    design <- model.matrix(~treatment*cage)

    design <- model.matrix(~cage %intreatment
    Thanks for any help

    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...
