    What happened to per-condition and gene-est-only in DESeq2?

    In DESeq, there was an option to estimate the gene dispersions within each condition instead of across all conditions, and per gene instead of sharing dispersion estimates across genes.

    However, in DESeq2, I can't find these options anywhere -- how to specify these tweaks to the dispersion estimates now?

    Thank you!

    In DESeq2 we only estimate a single dispersion value per gene. See the methods description in the paper:

      Thanks, Michael.

      So it is clear to me now that the dispersion values are now per-gene, so gene-est-only no longer applies.

      Quoting from the paper:

      Many methods for differential expression analysis of RNA-seq data perform such information sharing across genes for variance (or, equivalently, dispersion) estimation. edgeR[2],[3] moderates the dispersion estimate for each gene toward a common estimate across all genes, or toward a local estimate from genes with similar expression strength, using a weighted conditional likelihood. Our DESeq method [4] detects and corrects dispersion estimates that are too low through modeling of the dependence of the dispersion on the average expression strength over all samples.

      What about estimating the dispersions within each condition instead of across all samples? (per-condition)?

      Thanks.

        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...

        Investigating the Gut Microbiome Through Diet and Spatial Biology
        by seqadmin




        The human gut contains trillions of microorganisms that impact digestion, immune functions, and overall health1. Despite major breakthroughs, we’re only beginning to understand the full extent of the microbiome’s influence on health and disease. Advances in next-generation sequencing and spatial biology have opened new windows into this complex environment, yet many questions remain. This article highlights two recent studies exploring how diet influences microbial...
