Hi, I've run DE on several bacterial libraries using DESeq and I've found that some genes are not expressed in either the treatment or the control, which means that a ratio is either 0 or cannot be calculated. The p-value, however is significant, which makes it tempting to assume that those particular genes are simply not expressed in any given situation. Am I correct?

How can you calculate a p-value from no data? Bacteria are efficient; they don't keep much around that is never used. Possibly, the genes are used in situations that you have not tested... and possibly, it's an artifact of your experiment or analysis.
...and possibly, the expression level is below your detectable range.Last edited by Brian Bushnell; 10-06-2014, 01:58 PM. -

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...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM -
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...03-22-2024, 06:39 AM
