  • DESeq on BS-Seq data

    Hi, would it be reasonable to use DESeq on Bisulfite data?

    I was thinking of using counts of the number of unconverted Cytosines (for different treatments) covering each gene as the input.
    Any reason I should *not* do that?
    Any thing I should be aware of in doing so?

    Thanks,
    Brent

    Or perhaps the counts would be better as number of Cytosines with > X% methylation within a gene?

      Dear Brent

      probably the answer is yes, but "use DESeq on Bisulfite data" is vague, and it will be good to first clarify: what is the biological question that you want to answer with this? How do you translate it into the hypothesis test(s) of DESeq?

      Whatever you do, can you first apply it to a comparison between biological replicates ("as if" they were the two conditions that you want to compare) and make sure that the type-I error (false positive rate or false discovery) is as advertised?

      Best wishes

        Genetic Variation in Immunogenetics and Antibody Diversity
        by seqadmin



        The field of immunogenetics explores how genetic variations influence immune responses and susceptibility to disease. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, Oscar Rodriguez, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Louisville, and Ruben Martínez Barricarte, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University, shared recent advancements in immunogenetics. This article discusses their research on genetic variation in antibody loci, antibody production processes,...

        Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
        by seqadmin



        Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...
