Differential expression analysis

Table 1: Differentially expressed (DE) genes for each comparison

Differential expression analysis was performed using DESeq2.

Thresholds for significant DE genes (per comparison):

Table 2: DE genes for functional analysis

To perform functional enrichments, you can try one or more of the following websites: Intermine, Reactome, GeneAnalytics from the GeneCards(R) Suite(R) or STRING.You can also use the relevant Send to Intemine buttons below to send the differentially expressed genes directly to Intermine.

Bioinformatics pipeline methods

Normalization of the counts and differential expression analysis was performed using DESeq2 (DOI: 10.1186/s13059-014-0550-8) with the parameters: betaPrior=True, cooksCutoff=FALSE, independentFiltering=FALSE. Raw P values were adjusted for multiple testing using the procedure of Benjamini and Hochberg (DOI: 10.1111/j.2517-6161.1995.tb02031.x).

We recommend looking at the p-values distribution plots for each pairwise comparison in the Differential Expression Analysis section of the report. The plots can be reached by clicking on the word link in the General Plots column of Table 1. The p-values distribution plots should be used to evaluate the need of correcting the adjusted p-value with fdrtools.

Interactive MA plots for each pairwise comparison were done using Glimma (see the link in the “Plots” column of Table 1 under the section Differential Expression Analysis). A dot plot representation of the normalized gene counts per condition can be found in the link in the " DE Genes" column of Table 1. The pipeline was constructed using Snakemake (DOI: 10.1093/bioinformatics/bts480).
