Hi, I have searched the mailing list but have found no solution.I have a set of 19 genes from two cancer types from a single dye experiment that have been analysed by limma. How do I know by looking at the logFC values which genes have been upregulated and downregulated? *Gene logFC adjusted p value* 1 4.503176282 8.16484E-07 2 3.098042379 0.001186095 3 2.478184614 6.25887E-06 4 2.123900966 0.000345836 5 2.072218463 0.000307254 6 1.861216801 0.019495491 7 1.60330851 0.000170216 8 1.371819046 0.041850715 9 1.32421397 0.002931049 10 1.290754778 1.6091E-05 11 1.110357905 0.011299876 12 -0.638346118 0.046342014 13 -0.661346419 0.019450208 14 -0.67761362 0.046342014 15 -0.90175871 0.020400911 16 -0.904514183 0.014558953 17 -1.015572133 0.046342014 18 -1.545921472 5.24644E-05 19 -3.499508887 1.58919E-06 [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, In the log-scale , positive value suggests up-regulation; negative down-regulation. For example: 2-fold up-regulation gives logFC of 1, 2-fold down-regulation (i.e., 0.5) gives -1. > log2(2) [1] 1 > log2(0.5) [1] -1 In the example you provided, genes 1-11 are up-regulated; the rest down. This assumes that the design and contrast matrices have been set up correctly. You might want to check manually the logFC result against the actual result for a few genes, i.e., calculating mean log intensities and then subtracting the reference from the treated group value.

Thanks a million. Simple question but I couldn't get the answer. Very kind of you, Saroj.
