Dear All, I am trying to find out the differentially expressed genes from some Agilent Human Whole Genome (G4112A) Arrays data. I have tried LIMMA package, but LIMMA gave the error message "no residual degrees of freedom in linear model fits" and stopped. My guess is that my data has no replicates in the experiment. Is there any other packages I can use to find differentially expressed genes which does not require replicates in the experiment? Thanks for your help. Chuming

Hi Prashantha, Thank you for your suggestion. My target file is as below. Although I couldn't fit a linear model, I still wonder whether I can do some statistic on M (log ratio) values and use the p-value to get the differentially expressed genes.

The more data one has, the fewer assumptions one needs. In the absence of replication, you cannot get p-values without very strong assumptions. e.g. you could assume that the vast majority of the genes do not differentially express, that their M-values have equal variance and that the M-values are normally distributed. Then you could use e.g. the IQR of the M-values to estimate the sd and use this to pick a fold cut-off for DE. You have no reasonable way to estimate FDR with this approach, but it might be slightly better than using 2-fold - or then again, it might not. Without replication, there is no way to know.

Hi Chuming if you want to work with the approximation that M-values have equal variances, then preprocessing the data with a method that provides variance stabilisation (e.g. vsn) will likely be useful. Furthermore, it might be useful to discard a fraction of genes with low A-values, since they are more likely to be either not expressed, or so weakly expressed that you would find it more difficult to validate them.

Hi Chuming, Would you mind explaining a bit more what the samples are? What you are describing below is either a very simple experiment with 5 biological replicates or a rather strange one that tries to test 5 conditions at the same time with 5 different controls. If the former, then you can set up your design matrix to show this. You would lose the matched nature of your data, but you should get some decent results using limma. If the latter, then whatever statistics you would do on the M values would be a bit strange as they would all represent different treatments.

Hi Francois: The experiment was done five years old. I am just trying to do some analysis. This experiment was performed on human colonic crypts. They were microdissected into two parts - the top 9/10 and the bottom 1/10. Thus in my target file, T or B stands for top or bottom and the number after it represents patients 1-5. I guess it belongs to the strange one you mentioned. I am trying to find out the differentially expressed genes for at least B1 vs T1, B2 vs T2 etc. There is probably no way to find out the differentially expressed genes for other pairs of contrasts.

Hi Cunming, I see. You will indeed be stuck at looking at M values for any single patient. One way would be to put them all in limma first to get some basic statistics and then just look at the M values for the pairs of interest. Then you can ask for say how many have an M value over a given threshold or something like that.

Hi Chuming, I have over looked your previous mail. It seems, there is nothing wrong. So, better to follow Wolfgang and Naomi suggestions.
