  • edgeR design: pool groups

    Hi,

    I am using edgeR post kallisto to look for DGE.

    I have RNAseq samples from 4 different tissue types and my design currently looks like this:

    > head(design)
    (Intercept) D.new$samples[, 1]CA Endothelium
    1 1 1
    2 1 1
    3 1 1
    4 1 1
    5 1 1
    6 1 1
    D.new$samples[, 1]CA Smooth Muscle D.new$samples[, 1]Coronary Artery
    1 0 0
    2 0 0
    3 0 0
    4 0 0
    5 0 0
    6 0 0
    ...

    attr(,"assign")
    [1] 0 1 1 1
    attr(,"contrasts")
    attr(,"contrasts")$`D.new$samples[, 1]`
    [1] "contr.treatment"


    So my four tissue types are Aorta (intercept), CA Endothelium, CA Smooth Muscle and Coronary Artery.

    As I understand I can compare gene expression between any tissue using:
    lrt.ECvsAo<-glmLRT(fit.new, contrast=c(1,-1,0,0))


    If I use this contrast
    lrt.ECvsAll<-glmLRT(fit.new, contrast=c(1,-1,1,1))
    am I asking for DGE between the second column (CA Endothelium) and EITHER other tissue?

    I'd like to find genes that are differentially expressed between CA Endothelium and ALL Aorta, CA Smooth Muscle and Coronary Artery.

    Is this doable?

    Many thanks

    If you're quantifying with kallisto you may want to take a look at sleuth

      Hi all,
      I am using edgeR flow to get gene lists of multifactorial experiment. I have 6 conditions with 3 samples per each. The problem is some of the gene lists I got end at FDR much less than what I entered and so I did not get the whole gene list. For example, the upregulated genes were completely missing in some lists. I tried increasing the number of genes the program gives using the
      < gene_table<-topTags(lrt, n=40000)
      but did not help. Then I tried very restreignent FDR as follow
      < DE<-tp$table[tp$table$FDR<0.000001,]$GeneID
      But again did not help. The last gene in one of my lists was with
      Symbol Chr logFC logCPM LR PValue FDR
      Hpx 7 -7.186931303 13.83923493 57.6010426 3.21E-014 3.23E-014

      Any help would be appreciated!

        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...
