  • Too high adjusted P-values analysing RNA-seq count data with limma

    Hello!

    I'm trying to analyse an RNA-seq count data matrix with limma. From an input table with about 15000 entries, limma gets 1600 differentially expressed genes. That is OK, but these genes have an adjusted P-value about ten times higher than the required 0.05 threshold. Am I doing something wrong? Should I analyse RNA-seq data with limma in a different way? I'm using the following code:


    raw_filter is the count data data frame
    replicates <- 3


    groups <- c(rep("A", replicates), rep("B", replicates))
    DGE_List <- DGEList(counts=raw_filter, group=groups)
    DGE_List <- calcNormFactors(DGE_List)
    normalized_counts <- as.matrix(DGE_List)
    design <- model.matrix(~0+ groups)
    log2_cpm <- voom(DGE_List, design, plot=TRUE)
    fit <- lmFit(log2_cpm, design)
    cont_matrix <- makeContrasts(c("groupsB-groupsA"), levels=design)
    fit2 <- contrasts.fit(fit, cont_matrix)
    fit2 <- eBayes(fit2)
    all_limma <- decideTests(fit2, p.value = 0.05, lfc = lfc)
    all_limma <- topTable(fit2, adjust.method="BH", number=nrow(fit2))
    all_limma <- all_limma[order(rownames(all_limma)),]
    expres_diff <- subset(all_limma, all_limma$P.Value < 0.05)


    Thank you in advance for your 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...
