    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

    Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
    by SEQadmin2


    Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

    Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
    by SEQadmin2



    Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

    Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
    by SEQadmin2



    Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

    There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...
