The toptable shows you the estimated coefficients from the fitted model, and in this case you defined the coefficients relative to the base group. You can easily get the fold change compared to the average across all groups, if you wish, but that's not usually a very useful quantity. What your question? > I have attached a screen-shot of the topTags table for the top 47 DE > genes in a few tissues to make the point, by using three different > tissues as the basegroup. No need to give examples. This is just documented behaviour of the software.

I thought this approach does not require one group to be used > as a wild-type. The reason why one of the groups is absorbed into the intercept is that it is only possible to make 17 independent comparisons between 18 groups. So it is only meaningful to have 17 coefficients in the model apart from the intercept. You seem to be jumping to the conclusion that the reference sample must be a control sample, but this is not correct.? The use of one group as a reference in the intercept term is purely for mathematical convenience. The ANOVA test result remains exactly the same regardless of which group is absorbed into the intercept.? Indeed you can fit any design matrix you like, and define any test of 17 independent contrasts, and you will get the same ANOVA test.? It makes no difference, providing the null hypothesis remains that all 18 groups are equal.? You could for example use ? design <- model.matrix(~0+tiss_groups) and then define any set of 17 pairwise comparisons between the groups. This would lead to exactly the same ANOVA test.? It is just more convenient to do as you do below. > So should I use the following to get the actual expression values of > genes in each sample: > fit <- glmFit(D, design) > Fit_FittedVals <- fit$fitted.values edgeR is not designed to estimate actual expression values.?

To get a logFC, it is necessary to compare one group with another.? Which two groups do you want to compare?? You have 18 tissue groups, so for each gene there are 153 possible pairwise comparisons between the groups.? That's a lot of logFCs. Best wishes Gordon > Thanks again for your advice.

Page 69 of the edgeR User's Guide shows a BCV plot for unrelated individuals: http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/vignettes/edgeR/inst /doc/edgeRUsersGuide.pdf and I don't think that the BCV should get much higher than this for a designed experiment.?

There is no need to set the prior.df, because the glmQLFTest() function estimates the prior.df for you automatically.? The idea is to use estimateGLMTrendedDisp() then call glmQLFTest(). Alternatively and better, please upgrade to the current version of edgeR and follow the case study in Section 4.6. It is not actually correct to input tagwise dispersion estimates to glmQLFTest.? There was no check against in this in edgeR version 3.0.X, but there is in the current release.

Dear Gordon, Thanks again for your inputs. I am quite clear of the method now. I agree that the DE genes are exactly the same (and in same order) whichever tissue I would take as a base group (the one that gets absorbed as the intercept). I was referring to the values of logFC.XX that is obtained from the topTags table. This is quite different based on the tissue that I use as base group. I guess this is not the log 2 fold change compared to the average across all groups, whereas, it is the fold change compared to the base group. I have attached a screen-shot of the topTags table for the top 47 DE genes in a few tissues to make the point, by using three different tissues as the basegroup. With FT as base group: tiss_groups <- factor(c("AAFT","AAFT","AAFT","AD","AD","AO","AO","BL",...) design <- model.matrix(~tiss_groups) QLF_lrt <- glmQLFTest(fit,coef=2:18) toptags_QLFLRT <- topTags(QLF_lrt, n=nrow(D$counts)) toptags_QLFLRT_table <- toptags_QLFLRT$table write.table(toptags_QLFLRT_table, "All37Cmprd_QLTLRTTable_BaseGroupFT_toptags", sep="\t", quote=FALSE) With PO as base group: tiss_groups_PO <- factor(c("AAPO","AAPO","AAPO","AD","AD","AO","AO","BL"...) write.table(toptags_QLFLRT_table_PO, "All37Cmprd_QLTLRTTable_BaseGroupPO_toptags", sep="\t", quote=FALSE) With SB as base group: tiss_groups_SB <- factor(c("AASB","AASB","AASB","AD","AD","AO","AO","BL",..) write.table(toptags_QLFLRT_table_SB, "All37Cmprd_QLTLRTTable_BaseGroupSB_toptags", sep="\t", quote=FALSE) Thanks again for your time and valuable guidance.

Thanks Gordon. I was wondering if I could have a quantitative value for the deviance of each group from the average, for each of the DE genes. I understand that the F value (from the F-statistic) is a measure of how far the gene is compared to the expression of all others across the samples. One option, I could think of is to just get the normalized counts for each of the sample, for the set of DE genes: de_lrt <- rownames(top_lrt[top_lrt$FDR<0.05,]) scale <- D$samples$lib.size*D$samples$norm.factors normCounts <- round(t(t(D$counts)/scale)*mean(scale)) write.table(log(normCounts[de_lrt[1:5690],]+1), "All37_NormCounts_DEGenes", sep="\t", quote=FALSE) Essentially, I am trying to get the list of genes that shows a more "tissue-specific" behaviour. Most genes are not expressed strictly in one particular tissue - there would be related tissues where its expression would be almost similar. So I would like to rank them based on their expression values and for that I need to have all comparable values. Then,  I could consider those samples where the expression of the gene is higher than the 90th percentile. Hope that makes sense! Thanks, Manoj. ________________________________ From: Gordon K Smyth <smyth@wehi.edu.au> Cc: Bioconductor mailing list <bioconductor@r-project.org> Sent: Sunday, May 5, 2013 5:46 PM Subject: Re: Design matrix and BCV On Sun, 5 May 2013, Manoj Hariharan wrote: > Dear Gordon, > Thanks again for your inputs.

Yes, that is correct.  The toptable shows you the estimated coefficients from the fitted model, and in this case you defined the coefficients relative to the base group. You can easily get the fold change compared to the average across all groups, if you wish, but that's not usually a very useful quantity. What your question? > I have attached a screen-shot of the topTags table for the top 47 DE > genes in a few tissues to make the point, by using three different > tissues as the basegroup. No need to give examples.  This is just documented behaviour of the software.

So all of these are in one sense the "wild-type".

I thought this approach does not require one group to be used > as a wild-type. The reason why one of the groups is absorbed into the intercept is that it is only possible to make 17 independent comparisons between 18 groups. So it is only meaningful to have 17 coefficients in the model apart from the intercept. You seem to be jumping to the conclusion that the reference sample must be a control sample, but this is not correct.  The use of one group as a reference in the intercept term is purely for mathematical convenience. The ANOVA test result remains exactly the same regardless of which group is absorbed into the intercept.  Indeed you can fit any design matrix you like, and define any test of 17 independent contrasts, and you will get the same ANOVA test.  It makes no difference, providing the null hypothesis remains that all 18 groups are equal.  You could for example use    design <- model.matrix(~0+tiss_groups) and then define any set of 17 pairwise comparisons between the groups. This would lead to exactly the same ANOVA test.  It is just more convenient to do as you do below. > So should I use the following to get the actual expression values of > genes in each sample: > fit <- glmFit(D, design) > Fit_FittedVals <- fit$fitted.values edgeR is not designed to estimate actual expression values.  However, if you would like to get the average logCPM value for each tissue group, then you code will do that provided you have defined the design matrix by model.matrix(~0+tiss_groups). > and use the following to get the logFC of groups after the DE test: > QLF_lrt <- glmQLFTest(fit,coef=2:18) > QLTLRT_Table <- QLF_lrt$table I don't understand what you mean by "logFC of groups".  To get a logFC, it is necessary to compare one group with another.  Which two groups do you want to compare?  You have 18 tissue groups, so for each gene there are 153 possible pairwise comparisons between the groups.  That's a lot of logFCs.

I would view this BCV as unacceptably high in my own research.  Page 69 of the edgeR User's Guide shows a BCV plot for unrelated individuals: http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/vignettes/edgeR/inst /doc/edgeRUsersGuide.pdf and I don't think that the BCV should get much higher than this for a designed experiment.  Another concern is that the dispersion trend in your data looks a bit strange.

Dear Manoj, Why not simply find genes than are higher in one group than the average of the other groups? edgeR can do this sort of thing easily. Let's suppose suppose you going to using the quasi-lik approach of glmQFTest() rather than glmQRT(). First define a design matrix for which the intercept is the overall mean: contrasts(tiss_groups) <- contr.sum(tiss_groups) design <- model.matrix(~tiss_groups) Then estimate the trended dispersions: y <- estimateGLMCommonDisp(y, design) y <- estimateGLMTrendedDisp(y, design) Then fit the basic linear model: fit <- glmFit(y, design) Then you can extract all the lists you want. For example ql <- glmQLFTest(fit, coef=2) top1 <- topTags(ql) will give you genes specifically up or specifically down in tissue 1, as compared to the average of all the other groups. ql <- glmQLFTest(fit, coef=3) top2 <- topTags(ql) will give you genes specifically up/down in tissue 2, and so on up to ql <- glmQLFTest(fit, coef=18) top17 <- topTags(de) will give you genes specifically up/down in tissue 17. Finally, to get genes up/down in tissue 18: cont <- rep(-1,18) cont[1] <- 0 ql <- glmQLFTest(fit, contrast=cont) top18 <- topTags(de) What you propose doesn't quite make sense to me. If you want to put genes on the same scale (and you don't need to for the above analysis), would it not be better to use rpkm()?

Most genes are not expressed strictly in one particular tissue - there would be related tissues where its expression would be almost similar. So I would like to rank them based on their expression values and for that I need to have all comparable values. Then,? I could consider those samples where the expression of the gene is higher than the 90th percentile. Hope that makes sense!

Hi Gordon, Actually, I had never used the glmQRT() - I've always been using the glmQLFTest(). And, as you had suggested, when I do the contrasts(tiss_groups) <- contr.sum(tiss_groups) I get the following error: > contrasts(tiss_groups) <- contr.sum(tiss_groups) Error in `contrasts<-`(`*tmp*`, value = c(1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,  :   wrong number of contrast matrix rows I didn't really understand what the difference by using the   contrasts(tiss_groups) <- contr.sum(tiss_groups)   design <- model.matrix(~tiss_groups) rather than specifying design without the "contrasts(tiss_groups) <- contr.sum(tiss_groups)", as below: design <- model.matrix(~tiss_groups) I would still have the intercept and have the following for fit$design: attr(,"assign")  [1] 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 attr(,"contrasts") attr(,"contrasts")$tiss_groups [1] "contr.treatment" Thanks, Manoj. ________________________________ From: Gordon K Smyth <smyth@wehi.edu.au> Cc: Bioconductor mailing list <bioconductor@r-project.org> Sent: Monday, May 6, 2013 11:39 PM Subject: edgeR: finding tissue specific genes [was: Design matrix and BCV] Dear Manoj, Why not simply find genes than are higher in one group than the average of the other groups?  edgeR can do this sort of thing easily.

Sorry, first command shoud have been contrasts(tiss_groups) <- contr.sum(levels(tiss_groups)) Your linear model can be parametrized in terms of any set of 18 coefficients. This command says that you want the effects to "sum" to zero, in other words the effects should be relative to the grand mean.
