I used edgeR to find differntially expressed genes of my RNA-seq data. I am little bit confused with one observation. A couple of genes are only turned on in my treatment group (ie 0 reads in my control group). But I got a particular value (for example 30) of fold change. What my confusion is, if there is no expression at all in my control group, how can edgeR give this value? Can anybody help me?

The log fold change of a count vs 0 is infinity (or -infinity). So edgeR adds a small quantity to 0 in order to get some fold change very large (30 or so as you can see) but not infinite.Originally posted by Puva View PostI used edgeR to find differntially expressed genes of my RNA-seq data.

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification,...-
