  • edgeR: how to calculate group average/means ?

    I am trying edgeR now to find deferentially expressed genes.
    I have run
    d <- DGEList(counts=data,group=g,lib.size=libSizes)
    d <- calcNormFactors(d)
    d <- estimateCommonDisp(d)
    d <- estimateTagwiseDisp(d)
    d <- exactTest(d)
    # d.final <- topTags(de.com,n = length(data[,1]))
    and got some results like

    logFC logCPM PValue
    A1bg 1.168034660 -3.842894 0.4137326
    A1cf 0.000000000 -Inf 1.0000000
    A1i3 0.000000000 -Inf 1.0000000
    A2m -0.003703085 4.419204 0.9421192
    A3galt2 0.437990409 2.861665 0.2611483

    But I'd like to know the average/mean of the gene expressions in each condition/groups?
    It seems logFC it is different from "log2(rowMeans(GrpB)/ rowMeans(GrpA))" calculating from cpm() counts.

    How should I do the calculation ?

    Thanks!

    Have you found the answer? I am also curious. Thank you!

      Do you need CPM per each sample after TMM normalization?
      you could do something like this
      cpm <- cpm(d, log=TRUE, lib.sizes=lib.sizes, normalized.lib.sizes = TRUE, prior.count=0.25)
      if your cpm values are negative then you can set the prior.count to a different value

        Thank you! But we meant mean values for each group/condition.

          So, I know it isn't ideal, but let's take the actual values of log(CPM) and log(FC) that you have from edgeR. Keep in mind this will only work if your replicates of experimental and control were equal, but you could tweak it as needed. Might be worth double checking that logCPM is using base 2 which I believe is default.

          Using "A" to be the average expression of your experimental condition and "B" to be your control as you've run it.

          FC=A/B, so
          2^log(FC) will get you (A/B)
          CPM=(A+B)/2, so
          2^log(CPM)=(A+B)/2

          Basic algebra solves for B,
          B=2(2^log(CPM))/(1+2^(log(FC)))

          and then
          A= 2(2^log(CPM)) - B

          Using the values of a typical EdgeR, this is minimal R work to generate the columns you wanted.

          Hope this helps!

            Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
            by seqadmin




            The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...

            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...
