I have some RNA-seq data for statistic analysis. I do not have biological replicate for the data, so could anyone can give me some suggestion how to compare the significant expressed genes between two samples using Fisher's exact test in R? Thank you very much.

Fisher's test tests for independency between rows and columns in a table so I don't think you can use it. In fact, with only two samples there is not much that can be done (there has been a lot of discussion on SEQanswers about detecting DE genes from RNAseq in the absence of replication). You can look at the DESeq and edgeR packages from Bioconductor, which can estimate dispersion in absence of replication, but again, the results shouldn't be taken as conclusive.Originally posted by beefeng123 View Post

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...Today, 06:46 AM -
Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
