  • log fold change from glm/poisson

    Hi,

    I'm wondering how to derive the log fold change from the output of R's glm using poisson family (for RNA-seq data). From R's lm function for linear models (for log2 microarray data) the log fold looks like it is the coefficient (beta), but it looks like the glm output needs some transformation to obtain log fold change. Anyone can walk me through the commands to do this?

    Thanks!

    Hi- The coefficients from glm with Poisson family distribution by R default are presented as natural log since the link function is log. so you have to anti-log the coefficient by exponentiation to get fold change. E.g.:

    y<- rep(c(10, 40), each= 5)
    x<- rep(c('A', 'B'), each= 5)
    (fit<- glm(y ~ x, family= poisson()))

    Call: glm(formula = y ~ x, family = poisson())

    Coefficients:
    (Intercept) xB
    2.303 1.386

    Degrees of Freedom: 9 Total (i.e. Null); 8 Residual
    Null Deviance: 96.37
    Residual Deviance: -3.997e-14 AIC: 52.44


    fc<- exp(fit$coefficients[2]) ## Antilog coef #2
    log2(fc) ## Convert to more familiar log2 fold change:
    2

      Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
      by seqadmin


      Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
