1. If I enter source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite("edgeR") in R package,
Does the R package automatically install the latest version, which
I
believe is 1.6.9?
2. While using readDGE function, there are sub-function in the guide
like
(targets, skip=5,
comment.char="#").
What does it mean by skip=5 and comment.char="#" ?
If I don't type skip=5 or type something else like skip=10, the
count
libraries sizes and counts
reported differently
So I wonder if this "skip" function makes any difference?
3. Again, using d<-readDGE(targets, skip=5, comment.char="#")
function, the
result of $counts
showed incorrect read counts from the original txt. file
Is this a bug?
For example:
3MO1 3MO2 3MO3 18MO1
18MO2 18MO3
miR-192/CTGACCTATGAATTGACAGC 192720.6 23615.286 5085.223 0.0
0.000 0.000
However, the 18MO1, 18MO2, and 18MO3 do have reads for
miR-192/CTGACCTATGAATTGACAGC in the original txt. file
4. Since I have tags have very few read counts, I filter them out by
d<-d[rowSums(d$counts) > 1000,]
I wonder if edgeR compare tags which exist in one sample but are
filtered out in another sample?
For example:
3MO1 3MO2 3MO3 18MO1
18MO2 18MO3
miR-192/CTGACCTATGAATTGACAGC exist exist exist filter
out
filter out filter out
3MO1, 3MO2 and 3MO3 are in one group, and 18MO1, 18MO2 and 18MO3 are
in
another group
I want to compare the reads expression difference in these two groups
Does edgeR treat the 18MO1, 18MO2 or 18MO3 as 0 count and compare
between
3MO and 18MO? or edgeR does not compare between them?
Another example:
3MO1 3MO2 3MO3 18MO1
18MO2 18MO3
miR-192/CTGACCTATGAATTGACAGC exist filter out exist filter
out
filter out exist
Does edgeR compare reads between 3MO and 18MO groups?
A student of the PhD program is asking different questions regarding the use of the bio conductor. All the ways of the bio conductor and order coursework are vital for the approach for all humans. The student is highly concerned about the queries. His query must be answered at all costs for the bio conduction.
