    DESeq2 Multiple Contrast Correction

    Should an additional p-value correction be made for running multiple contrasts? Say for example I have 12 samples and with one factor that has 4 levels, A, B, C, and D.

    No code has to be inserted here.If I run DESeq using Wald tests to determine the differentially expressed genes and then compare each level to the others using contrasts like this:

    Code:
    dds <- DESeqDataSetFromMatrix(countData = countData,
            colData = colData,
            design = ~ condition)
    
    dds <- DESeq(dds)
    
    results(dds, contrast=c("condition","A","B"))
    results(dds, contrast=c("condition","A","C"))
    results(dds, contrast=c("condition","A","D"))
    results(dds, contrast=c("condition","B","C"))
    results(dds, contrast=c("condition","B","D"))
    results(dds, contrast=c("condition","C","D"))
    Does running multiple contrasts require an additional correction to the adjusted p-value reported in the results object?

    We only provide automatic adjustment in the gene dimension. The decideTests function in limma does provide functionality for comparing across contrasts. when I see what appears to me to be opportunistic pair-wise comparisons, I just try to discourage it in favor of EDA: e.g. progammatically testing hundreds of pairs instead of having a preset hypothesis.

      Pathogen Surveillance with Advanced Genomic Tools
      by seqadmin




      The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for proactive pathogen surveillance systems. As ongoing threats like avian influenza and newly emerging infections continue to pose risks, researchers are working to improve how quickly and accurately pathogens can be identified and tracked. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, two experts discussed how next-generation sequencing (NGS) and machine learning are shaping efforts to monitor viral variation and trace the origins of infectious...

      This year’s Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) General Meeting commemorated the 25th anniversary of the event at its original venue on Marco Island, Florida. While this year’s event didn’t include high-profile musical performances, the industry announcements and cutting-edge research still drew the attention of leading scientists.

      The Headliner
      The biggest announcement was Roche stepping back into the sequencing platform market. In the years since...
