Dear list, I have 2 -wt and 2-mutant samples done on Affymetrix chips. Could you suggest the best way to analyze this experiment? Is averaging both replicates and picking genes based on fold change good?? Thanks for any suggestions.

try Rankprod which is based on fold change but with much more power.

Even though you only have two replicates, accounting for variability is better than ignoring it altogether.

I wouldn't average if you can help it (if these are biological replictes--if they are not, then I would argue that you don't actually have any replication). You are then very much at the mercy of the outliers. I would try using limma or SAM, or one of several other methods for looking at microarray data designed with small samples in mind. That said, any results that you find are very suspect with only two replicates per condition, but if you are only interested in finding candidates for further analysis (the best you can hope to do with only four arrays), the ordering you get would, I think, be more robust using a statistical test than simple averaging.

Based on my experience,SAM usually fails with only 2 replicates under each condition. Limma and RankProd both can handle 2 replicates.

There is an R package called 'pplr' which makes use of probe-level variance within chips. It handles small number of chips quite well. It might help. You can find it from http://umber.sbs.man.ac.uk/resources/puma/index.html.

Thanks everyone for your advice. I have decided to use Limma, however I am not sure how to set up the design matrix for this analysis.

Sohail, You will probably need to read the appropriate sections of the limma User guide. There is a section called "Two Groups: Affymetrix", which would seem to fit the bill here if I remember your design correctly. If you have problems, just show the code you are using and where things went wrong. Sean

Dear list, I obtained a dendrogram for a set of d.e genes using hclust() with the following code: mygenes.tree<-exprs(mygenes.eset) r = cor(mygenes.tree, method=?pearson?) d = 1 - r hc = hclust(as.dist(r), method=?average?) plot(hc, labels = sampleNames) and tried to compare it with a heatmap with the same genes: heatmap(mygenes.tree, col=rbg, distfun = function(c){1 - Dist(c,method = "pearson")},hclustfun= function (d) {hclust(d, method=?average?) }, labCol= sampleNames,Colv=cov(mygenes.tree),Rowv=cov(mygenes.tree))) but the grouping of the samples on both dendrograms is different. Is it because I am using some parameters that differ between both methods? I have read the ?heatmap info and am not very sure that I understand the difference between the arguments Colv and hclustfun and whether they can be used together. Maybe I am introducing some confronting arguments without noticing. Could anyone check my code and help me on this? I am using R 2.2.0 Thanks in advance, David
