  • DESEQ2 design matrix help

    Hello:

    I have a complicated RNASeq experimental design and I need some help from experts.

    my aim is to compare normal vs. tumor rna-seq data.

    I have 4 different normal samples obtained from two different sites of two different animals.

    Similarly I have 9 tumor samples. 6 of them were obtained from 3 different animals (from 2 sites). 3 samples from 3 different sites of a single mouse.

    Normal
    N1 - animal 1
    N2 - Animal 1

    N3 - Animal 2
    N4 - Animal 2

    Tumor:

    T1 - Animal 1
    T2 - Animal 1

    T3 - Animal 2
    T4 - Animal 2

    T5 - Animal 3
    T6 - Animal 3

    T7 - animal 4
    T8 - animal 4
    T9 - animal 4


    Using DESeq2, how can this model be fitted for identifying differentially expressed genes between normal and tumors.

    thanks

    Conditions = (Normal and Tumor)
    Genotype = (Animal1, Animal2, Animal3, Animal4)
    DESeq equation ~ Conditions + Genotype

    One concern/question is how do you want the comparison to be ?

    Comparison 1: Normal_Animal1 vs Tumor_Animal1
    Comparison 2: Normal_Animal2 vs Tumor_Animal2
    Comparison 3: Normal_Animal1+Normal_Animal2 vs Tumor_Animal1+Tumor_Animal2 (I am not sure if this is correct)
    Comparison 4: Normal_Animal1+Normal_Animal2 vs Tumor_Animal1+Tumor_Animal2+Tumor_Animal3+Tumor_Animal4 (I am very skeptical about this comparison because you are not comparing apples to apples..)

      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...
