Hello Sir/madam,

I have microarray data from the GEO database  (GSE51401) for which i have to find the DEGs and to generate a heatmap of those DEGs.

I am using .CEL files (raw data) for the analysis using limma package. and the data has NA values, so can anyone tell me how to remove the NA using limma and then the R code for the DGEs.

Have you read the limma user guide? If so, post the code you have tried. If not, that is the place to start.

Hello Sir,

using limma package the following R code i have used

library(affy)
library(limma)
library(gplots)

pd <- read.AnnotatedDataFrame("tnt.txt",header = T,sep = "\t")
pData(pd)
my_expressionset <- ReadAffy(filenames =rownames(pData(pd)))
my_expressionset
eset <- rma(my_expressionset)
pData(eset)

# design matrix
design <- model.matrix(~Substance,pData(pd))
design
fit <- lmFit(eset, design)
fit
fit2 <- eBayes(fit)
fit2
dim(fit2)
options(digits = 2)
fit2$p.value
deg <- topTable(fit2, coef = 2, p.value = 0.001, adjust.method = 'fdr', number = nrow(eset))
dim(deg)[1]

and I'm getting total 5201 deferentially expressed genes, but i am still confused whether its right or wrong.

and i have to plot a heatmap of these DEGs, 

for wich i followed one biostar question answer help, the code is as follows for heatmap

##heatmap of DEG
idx = rownames(deg)
head(idx)
heatmap.2(exprs(fit2)[idx,],trace='none',scale='row')

but it is showing following error,

Error in (function (classes, fdef, mtable)  : 
  unable to find an inherited method for function ‘exprs’ for signature ‘"MArrayLM"’

can you tell me how to make heatmap after limma and is my number of DEGs is correct or not?

Having code is really one of the best ways to get a clear answer. To get your heatmap, you might want to try using `exprs(my_expressionset)` rather than `exprs(fit2)`

Hello Sir,

Thank you for the reply and the answer,

below i have made changes to the R code for the heatmap generation i have used for DEG analysis, along with the result of each step.

Expression data from tumor-associated endothelial cells of hepatocellular carcinoma GEO accession, (GSE51401) and there are total 24 Tumar and 24 Non tumor samples (total 48 samples) 

1. my first question is, is this code is right ?

2. i am getting total 5201 DEGs, so is this number of DEGs is right or am i doing any mistake in the code ?

3. do i have to make contrast matrix for the DEG analysis?

4. i want to take only unregulated genes from the DEGs.

Thank you sir in advance,

CEL files do not generate NA values. If you have NA values, then you're doing some wrong.

Even if you did have NA values, then limma would handle them automatically. You wouldn't have to make any intervention yourself.
