diffexp_seq: Differential Expression for seqData

Description

Performs statistical analysis for differential expression of seqData objects, using methods from one of: edgeR, DESeq2, or limma-voom

Usage

diffexp_seq(
  omicsData,
  method = "edgeR",
  p_adjust = "BH",
  comparisons = NULL,
  p_cutoff = 0.05,
  ...
)

Value

object of class statRes

Arguments

omicsData

object of type 'seqData' created by as.seqData

method

character string of length one specifying which wrapper to use. Can be 'edgeR', 'DESeq2', or 'voom'

p_adjust

character string for p-value correction method, refer to ?p.adjust() for valid options. Defaults to "BH" (Benjamini & Hochberg).

comparisons

data frame with columns for "Control" and "Test" containing the different comparisons of interest. Comparisons will be made between the Test and the corresponding Control If left NULL, then all pairwise comparisons are executed.

p_cutoff

numeric value between 0 and 1 for setting p-value significance threshold

...

additional arguments passed to methods functions. Note, formatting option changes will interfere with wrapping functionality.

Details

Runs default differential expression workflows.

Flags (signatures) - Indicator of statistical significance. Zeroes indicate no significance, while +/- 1 indicates direction of significance.

Method "edgeR" - Runs default edgeR workflow with empirical Bayes quasi-likelihood F-tests. Additional arguments can be passed for use in the function. Refer to calcNormFactors() and glmQLFit() in edgeR package. Requires the 'edgeR' and 'limma' packages to run.

Method "DESeq2" - Runs default DESeq workflow. Defaults to Wald test, no independent filtering, and running in parallel. Additional arguments can be passed for use in the function. Refer to DESeq() and results() in DESeq2 package. Requires 'survival' package to run.

Method "voom" - Runs default limma-voom workflow using empirical Bayes moderated t-statistics. Additional arguments can be passed for use in the function. Refer to calcNormFactors() in edgeR package. Requires the 'edgeR' and 'limma' packages to run.
