[BioC] DESeq: help with analysis

[Abhishek Pratap]

Hi Everyone

Given the study design( see below) I am somewhat surprised NOT to see any
genes being differentially expressed with p.adj < .05 or .10. I would like
the help from folks on this mailing list to introspect the analysis and
figure out if we overlooked something or data


Study Design:
4 cases v/s 4 control ( all replicates are biological)
One sample in the case had very low read counts but I thought that should
not make a lot of difference in case of DESeq. I did however try to re-run
the analysis taking that out but no change as far as the #diff exp genes.

Analysis done with : DESeq_1.12.0

Please let me know if you need anything more from my end to help me dig a
bit deeper and understand what might be going on here.

Thanks a lot,
