Hi,
I am working on elucidating pathologically relevant miRNAs responsible for disease progression and chemoresistance in chronic lymphocytic leukemia. For differential expression of miRNAs I am using the edgeR package. I am new to statistics, edger and any help would be highly appreciated. The samples are classified as 1) Indolent which has 7 patient samples 2) Chemo-responsive, 9 patient samples 3) Non-responsive, 7 patient samples 4) Control, 2 samples.
I want to check the differential expression of miRNAs as follows:
For comparing two groups like indolent vs chemo-responsive contrast matrix contrast(-1,1,0,0) works well. What should be the contrast matrix when comparing:
(a) Control vs Indolent,Chemo-responsive,Non-responsive
(b) Indolent vs Chemo-responsive,Non-responsive.

The complexity of cancer is clearly demonstrated in the diverse ecosystem of the tumor microenvironment (TME). The TME is made up of numerous cell types and its development begins with the changes that happen during oncogenesis. “Genomic mutations, copy number changes, epigenetic alterations, and alternative gene expression occur to varying degrees within the affected tumor cells,” explained Andrea O’Hara, Ph.D., Strategic Technical Specialist at Azenta. “As...07-08-2024, 03:19 PM
