Devon's always got the right answer
If you want to know more about filtering out genes with few counts, we have a section on this (independent filtering) in the "Theory" part of the DESeq2 vignette.
A reference on independent filtering:
Bourgon R, Gentleman R, Huber W.
"Independent filtering increases detection power for high-throughput experiments."
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2010 May 25;107(21):9546-51. doi: 10.1073/pnas.0914005107. Epub 2010 May 11.
With high-dimensional data, variable-by-variable statistical testing is often used to select variables whose behavior differs across conditions. Such an approach requires adjustment for multiple testing, which can result in low statistical power. A two-stage approach that first filters variables by …

What to do with genes with very low counts in a dataset
Hi all,
I have a dataset from a single cell RNASeq project and there are many genes with very few counts (1 or 2 in a few samples) in the data set. While this is important info (tells us that these genes are not expressed), how would one handle them for a differential expression analysis (I use DESeq2)? Should I delete them or keep them? For me this means the difference between having a dataset with either ~17000 genes or ~11,500 genes (if I exclude genes with an average count less than 3).
Thanks for your thoughts on this!Tags: None

The field of immunogenetics explores how genetic variations influence immune responses and susceptibility to disease. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, Oscar Rodriguez, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Louisville, and Ruben Martínez Barricarte, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University, shared recent advancements in immunogenetics. This article discusses their research on genetic variation in antibody loci, antibody production processes,...-

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...-
