Yeah, bioinformatics can be quite frustrating... Although, the feeling is great when you get it done and you see all those beautiful tables with genes, aligned with p values and so on

Hey guys, is there an extra step needed for DESeq to adjust for library size?
What I mean is, I have three replicates, and two of them have half as many reads as the first.
So my file after pasting it into Excel, looks like this
Untreated Treated
Gene 1 6 3 3 8 4 4
Gene 2 10 5 5 12 6 6
.....
I then use this table to use for DESeq. Does DESeq adjust for each sequencing depth?Comment

This is covered in the DESeq vignette, see also the "estimateSizeFactors" command, which is part of the standard work flow.Originally posted by billstevens View PostComment

yeah sorry, I was just about to write that.Comment

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...10-30-2026, 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
