Hello, limma has been so valuable in microarray data analysis, but has anyone used limma for finding differentially expressed proteins from quantitative proteomics data? The data I got has tumor/normal ratios of thousands proteins, and both tumor and normal have a number of replicates. Could such data be analyzed with limma? If limma can not be used here, what statistics method is suitable so that we can get statistically significant proteins with p-values? Any suggestion is appreciated. Kind regards, Yong

yes, it should be possible with a voom()-based analysis to get the variances "right". -Aaron On Tue, Jun 19, 2012 at 12:47 PM, Yong Li <mail.yong.li@googlemail.com>wrote: > Hello, > > limma has been so valuable in microarray data analysis, but has anyone > used limma for finding differentially expressed proteins from > quantitative proteomics data?

Dear Aaron, thank you for your quick answer! I have checked the help page of voom() but it seems to be used for count data. My data are just tumor/normal ratios. I am wondering if you could provide more details?

There's a thread on the bioconductor mailing list about using voom for RSEM-based RNA-seq quantification, in which Gordon Smythe explained that while voom() was designed for count data, it doesn't require it. As Tim Triche has suggested, if you're raw data is really ratios (and not absolute values for normal and tumor), then you should take log2 of those ratios and use limma from there; you can then also hijack the arrayQualityMetrics package to check QC (MA plots, mean-variance relationships, etc.) -Aaron On Tue, Jun 19, 2012 at 3:39 PM, Yong Li <mail.yong.li@googlemail.com>wrote: > Dear Aaron, > > thank you for your quick answer!

I'd suggest taking logit(ratio) instead of log2(ratio) as the former is quasi-normally-distributed (OK, logistic-normal) and the latter isn't. voom() would then presumably come up with the appropriate weights to deal with the remaining inflation/deflation WARNING: I don't use voom() on ratios, myself, so YMMV On Tue, Jun 19, 2012 at 2:09 PM, Aaron Mackey <amackey@virginia.edu> wrote: > There's a thread on the bioconductor mailing list about using voom for > RSEM-based RNA-seq quantification, in which Gordon Smythe explained that > while voom() was designed for count data, it doesn't require it.

oops, Aaron was exactly right, log2(ratio) would make much more sense. I had been looking at beta values (thus logit(beta) was on my mind) and in that case you do want logit(proportion). But log2(ratio) is more sensible.

Dear Aaron, thank you and others for suggestions. My data is really ratios and not absolute values for normal and tumor. Sorry that I am still not quite sure how to move forward with limma when I take log2 of the ratios. It looks like I then will have the M component of the MAList, but how can I construct the A to make an MAList? Or I am missing something here?

Dear Yong, I don't think you need an MAList -- all limma functions will accept a simple matrix of your log2 ratios... or at least, all limma functions I have ever used, will do that... :-) Cheers, - axel Axel Klenk Research Informatician Actelion Pharmaceuticals Ltd / Gewerbestrasse 16 / CH-4123 Allschwil / Switzerland From: Yong Li <mail.yong.li at="" googlemail.com=""> To: bioconductor at r-project.org Date: 26.06.2012 00:01 Subject: Re: [BioC] Using limma for quantitative proteomics data Sent by: bioconductor-bounces at r-project.org Dear Aaron, thank you and others for suggestions.

Dear Yong, It would be helpful if you could say something about the method used to identify differentially expressed proteins from quantitative proteomics data. Is it a protein microarray - if so which platform. Is it mass spec? I would think, and somebody please correct me if I am wrong, that continuous protein data could be analyzed similarly to contnuous mRNA data as far as differential expression goes - although preprocessing might be signficantly different. For example. I am currently analyzing a JPT peptide array and I am doing the preprocessing with Rapmad and the differential expression with Limma. with hopes that this helps, Rich On Jun 19, 2012, at 3:39 PM, Yong Li wrote: > Dear Aaron, > > thank you for your quick answer!

Dear Yong! I used limma for ion count data. First I computed log-ratios per peptide and then summarized log-ratios per protein. Protein log-ratios were then analyzed by limma.

Dear Bernd, thank you for your answer and the paper. It was mentioned in the paper that the R script used for the analysis was in a Bioconductor data package named mRNAinteractomeHeLa, however I couldn't find it on the Bioc web site. The paper is new so probably I should wait for the next Bioc release?

Dear Axel, thanks for your answer. You are right, a matrix can be given to lmFit() and in this case just the Amean is not calculated in the returned object.
