Dear Wolfgang, Thank you very much for your reply. I understand that I need to validate my results if I make any changes, but was not clear as to how would I do that. I like the idea of using the MA plots and am currently working on those. However, I would like your suggestion on what you think could be better in our case to identify anything as potentially differentially expressed. Should I just go with the defaults (which I think might be too conservative specifically for our condition), or should I make certain changes. I have already tried all the possible changes in parameters for estimatDispersions, and definitely see different results than default. I am currently validating all these changes, but would just like an expert view on what would be a good modification to default (if any).

Dear Praful thanks. One thing to remember is that DESeq does not do magic. It will only find what is in the data. A well-designed, sufficiently powered and carefully executed experiment is worth a lot. best wishes Wolfgang Mar/27/12 9:55 PM, Aggarwal, Praful scripsit:: > Dear Wolfgang, > > Thank you very much for your reply.
