    DEXseq input file

    Hello!

    I am trying to assess expression level of a particular gene and its isoforms in 2 treatment conditions using DEXseq.
    I am new to DEXseq and have a question regarding its input file.
    I have a RNAseq data set of two experimental conditions without any replicates. For each experimental condition the sequencing data has been stored as seven fastq files. Since the data is paired ended I have 14 fastq files for each experimental condition. These fastq files were entered into tophat2 as paired ended data and concatenated resulting seven accepted_hits.bam files together, so that I have .bam files for each experimental condition to feed into HTseq.

    I have copied the command for count.txt file generation here. In that I have stated my data are paired-ended while putting a single merged .bam file in. Is this the correct way to put my data in? I want to clarify this because I get some errors in following steps.

    python dexseq_count.py output_from_dexseq_annotation.gff -p yes -f bam -r name mutant_merged.bam DEXseq_count.txt

    This is the error I get with its command.

    > dxd = estimateDispersions( dxd )
    using supplied model matrix
    Error in estimateDispersionsFit(object, fitType = fitType, quiet = quiet) :
    all gene-wise dispersion estimates are within 2 orders of magnitude from the minimum value, and so the standard curve fitting techniques will not work.
    One can instead use the gene-wise estimates as final estimates:
    dds <- estimateDispersionsGeneEst(dds)
    dispersions(dds) <- mcols(dds)$dispGeneEst
    ...then continue with testing using nbinomWaldTest or nbinomLRT
    In addition: Warning message:
    In MulticoreParam(workers = 1) :
    MulticoreParam not supported on Windows. Use SnowParam instead.


    If anyone could give your opinion on this it would be a huge help.

    Thank you very much

    Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
    by SEQadmin2


    I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

    Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

    From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
    by SEQadmin2


    Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


    The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
