[BioC] False positives due to GC content correction - DESeq2

[QAMRA Aditi (GIS)]

Hi Mike,

Sorry seems like my message got cut midway. What I was saying was that I don't understand how can I estimate what could be the source of these false positives. Yes these are regions that I know are not differentially expressed.

I've attached the code for the analysis as well the dispersion plots.

hi Aditi,

Please include all the code you used for EDAseq and DESeq2, and the
sessionInfo()

How do you know there are false positive? Are these genes which you
know are not differentially expressed?

Your dispersion plots didn't come through. You can email those
attachments to my email address, and we will continue discussion on
the Bioc list.

Mike

There is a lot of heterogeneity in the samples due to clinical differences ( tumor stage etc), total mapped reads ( some samples are much better than the others), batch effects ( since they were processed at different times and not by the same person). I wanted to correct atleast some of the biases starting with GC content and what I did was to use offsets from EDAseq as an input to DESeq2 and introduced the batch variable in the model.
