dexseq aggregate genes

06-17-2013, 04:38 PM

Hi,

I'm trying to understand the "-r no" option in the latest version of dexseq_prepare_annotation.py. It seems that the script only ignores an exonic part if it exactly overlaps an exonic part from another gene - is this correct? Couldn't gene-level differential expression also disrupt differential exon usage calls if an exonic part of one gene is a subset of an exonic part of another?

thanks,
Leda

----------

E.g. here are some lines from running the script on gencode 14 annotation. The first exonic part contains the subsequent ones and more (from a different gene), so I'm wary when DEXSeq tells me it's used differentially.

From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data

by SEQadmin2

Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.

The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
