Hi, I've run DE on several bacterial libraries using DESeq and I've found that some genes are not expressed in either the treatment or the control, which means that a ratio is either 0 or cannot be calculated. The p-value, however is significant, which makes it tempting to assume that those particular genes are simply not expressed in any given situation. Am I correct?

How can you calculate a p-value from no data? Bacteria are efficient; they don't keep much around that is never used. Possibly, the genes are used in situations that you have not tested... and possibly, it's an artifact of your experiment or analysis.
...and possibly, the expression level is below your detectable range.Last edited by Brian Bushnell; 10-06-2014, 01:58 PM. -

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
