[BioC] help with limma commands

[Jeremy Preston]

Hi there,

I was wondering what command to use to see the lists of genes for
group3-group2 and group3-group1.

In the example from the user guide the top genes expressed differentially in
group2 versus group1 can be obtained with the command listed below. I have
tried to extrapolate this to get the other contrasts, but have had no
success.

 

To make all pair-wise comparisons between the three groups the appropriate
contrast matrix can be created by

> contrast.matrix <- makeContrasts(group2-group1, group3-group2,
group3-group1, levels=design)
> fit2 <- contrasts.fit(fit, contrast.matrix)
> fit2 <- eBayes(fit2)

A list of top genes differential expressed in group2 versus group1 can be
obtained from

> topTable(fit2, coef=1, adjust="fdr")
 
 
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
 
Regards,
Jeremy.
