  • Simple effects in DESeq2

    Hello, this is probably a very simple point, but I want to make sure I understand this. In the DESeq2 ?results document it lists the following example (and comment):

    ## Example 2: two conditions, two genotypes, with an interaction term

    dds <- makeExampleDESeqDataSet(n=100,m=12)
    dds$genotype <- factor(rep(rep(c("I","II"),each=3),2))
    design(dds) <- ~ genotype + condition + genotype:condition
    dds <- DESeq(dds)
    resultsNames(dds)

    # Note: design with interactions terms by default have betaPrior=FALSE

    # the condition effect for genotype I (the main effect)
    results(dds, contrast=c("condition","B","A"))


    QUESTION:
    1. shouldn't what is called "the condition effect for genotype I (the main effect)" be called the simple effect for condition on genotype I?? The term "main effect" I am not sure is appropriate here as we are not averaging over all genotypes.
    2. If (1) is correct, how would one specify on DESeq2 a real main effect of B vs A averaged over all genotypes?

    Thank you,
    Ramiro

    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...

    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...
