  • edgeR - Run GLM on only one gene

    I would like to use edgeR's GLM functionality to determine the influence of several factors on a gene's expression levels. For performance reasons I would like to estimate the dispersion using the entire count table, but then determine the fit just for the gene I am interested in.

    Is there any way to do this, i.e. call glmFit() on just one row of the table? I already tried to create a new CDS for just the gene and copy over the dispersion from the full CDS, but that does not seem to work.

    If 'y' is your full DGEList object, with common or tagwise dispersions already estimated, you can simply use:

    fit <- glmFit(y[i,], design)

    where 'i' is any subset of genes you want, even a single gene. The dispersions are automatically subsetted for you.

    Note that edgeR is a Bioconductor package, so you can get answers quickly by posting them to the Bioconductor mailing list.

      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...
