Hi,

I have sample information (sampleinfo) in this format:

SampleID    condition   type
MP_1    A_1 Paired-End
MP_2    A_1 Paired-End
MP_3    A_1 Paired-End
MN_1    A_2 Paired-End
MN_2    A_2 Paired-End
MN_3    A_2 Paired-End
WP_1    B_1 Paired-End
WP_2    B_1 Paired-End
WP_3    B_1 Paired-End
WN_1    B_2 Paired-End
WN_2    B_2 Paired-End
WN_3    B_2 Paired-End

I want to compare A1 with A2, B1 with B2 ans also want to compare (A1+A2) with (B1+B2).

This is how I used DESeqDataSetFromMatrix

ddsMat <- DESeqDataSetFromMatrix(countData = seqdata[,rownames(sampleinfo)], colData =  sampleinfo, design = ~ condition)
ddsMat <- DESeq(ddsMat)

res.05_FC0<-results(ddsMat,contrast = c("condition","A_1","A_2"),alpha=0.05,lfcThreshold = 0)
res.05_FC0<-results(ddsMat,contrast = c("condition","B_1","B_2"),alpha=0.05,lfcThreshold = 0)

How can I compare (A_1+A_2) with (B_1+B_2) using the contrast argument in results function?

Take a look at the examples in the ?results man page. There are examples of how to do this.

Hi Michael, I read the examples, I am getting this as my output to resultsNames(ddsMat)

"Intercept"                    "condition_A_1_vs_A_2" "condition_B_2_vs_A_2"  "condition_B_1_vs_A_2"

Do I need to use contrast in a list fashion, something like this to capture(A1+A2) vs (B1+B2)

`contrast=list("condition_A_1_vs_A_2","condition_B1_vs_A2")`

and keep the listValues as default. Would that be correct? Of course it is a little confusing and I can actually make another sampleinfo table, but I want to learn how it will be done here. Thanks
