    EdgeR LogCpm and LogFC

    Dear all,

    First of all, I realize there are already several topics on this forum regarding this subject, however none of these seemed to solve my question.
    I am analyzing RNA-Seq data with EdgeR. I have found several DE genes and now my idea is to plot these DE genes. I would like to do so in terms of changes in logCPM, aswell as in logFC.
    Furthermore, I realize these values can be found in the LRT table provided by the glmLRT function when testing for a particular coefficient or contrast matrix. However, I can not seem to reproduce these results using my count matrix (DGE list) to start with.

    Here is what I have tried so far:
    'y' is my DGE list with counts and fitted tagwise dispersion
    'fit' is my glmFit, fitted according to my design matrix.
    'SignGeneID' is the gene ID of a DE gene
    The three columns I provide in my calculation code are the columns of the respective coefficients I want to test (so, in this particular case, columns 1,7 and 13 represent three control treatments of three separate patients and columns 3,9,15 represent three treatments.

    For the LogCpm:
    Code:
    design <- model.matrix(~ patient +Treat+Time + Treat:Time)
    fcRaw <- y$counts[SignGeneID,c(1,7,13)] / y$counts[SignGeneID,c(3,9,15)]
    log2FC <- log(fcRaw , base = 2)
    mean(log2FC) #not equal to LRT table FC
    I have tried several variations on this basic calculations, however I can not reach the same conclusion as the LRT table provided me with.

    For the LogFC, I can get to the same results of the LRT table through the coefficients of my glmFit in this fashion, with "TreatDPN" being the coefficient I have tested:

    Code:
    coef <- "TreatDPN"
    logFC <- fit2$coefficients[, coef, drop = FALSE]/log(2)
    However, again, I can not come to the LRT table reported value starting from my raw count data. What am I overlooking here?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Koen.

    The part about this topic feels surprisingly grounded, and the details on the page is the bit that made me slow down. I’d keep <a href="https://kinpict.com/">ai family photo generator</a> bookmarked for later.

    16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
    by SEQadmin2





    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,...
