  • p-value and fold change

    Hello,

    I got my rna-seq analysis from the company and they have assigned p-value to each gene. Is it possible to have a p-value from only one set of data since I had sent only one batch and there were no replicates? Also, some of my genes have p>0.05 (not differentially expressed) but high fold-change increase. So which of the two should be considered important - p-value or fold change?

    Thanks

    If you only sent them single samples from your groups then the p-values are largely meaningless. There's not a direct correspondence between fold-change and p-value, since lowly expressed genes will randomly show higher fold-changes (i.e., the p-value is a function of expression level and fold change).

      Ok. But can the p-value be between my control and treatment samples as this is what they mentioned in their analysis and p<0.05 means those genes are differentially expressed?

      Thanks

        The presumption is that the p-value is from a poisson test, so yes it's between the two samples.

        Yes, p<0.05 would normally mean differentially expressed, aside from the fact that the p-values in your case are largely meaningless.

          So I guess the p-value is between technical replicates hence meaningless. Thanks a lot!

            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...
