Hi Stephen- 1. dba.analyze itself doesn't use any thresholds, it just computes the p-values and FDRs for every binding site. The thresholds are used in the reporting and plotting functions: dba.report, dba.plotMA, dba.plotHeatmap, dba.plotPCA, and dba.plotBox. The generic plot function corresponds to dba.plotHeatmap and you can specify thresholds. eg: > DBSites = dba.report(DBA,contrast=1, th=.05, bUsePval=TRUE) > dba.plotMA(DBA, th=.05, bUsePvals=TRUE) NOTE: I've just added the ability to set the default threshold for the object instead of the global FDR < 0.1 currently implemented. This feature will appear in the development version (as 1.9.2) soon. These values will initialized as: > DBA$config$th = 0.1 > DBA$config$pUsePval = FALSE and can subsequently be changed at will. 2. You can export the entire affinity binding matrix (based on the consensus set after running dba.count) using dba.peakset. If you set the "bRetrieve" parameter to TRUE, this will return the entire matrix (the "DataType" parameter controls the form of how this is returned; default type is GRanges). If you set the "writeFile" parameter to a filename, the data will be exported to a tab-delimited file of that name. eg: > affinities = dba.peakset(DBA,writeFile="BindingAffintyMatrix.bed") Cheers- Rory On 17/10/2013 16:55, "Stephen Mack" <stephen.mack at="" mail.utoronto.ca=""> wrote: >Hi Rory, > >I was hoping you could help with with two DiffBind questions: > >1) Is it possible to adjust the p-value / FDR threshold for the >dba.analyze function ? > >2) Is it possible to export the consensus / affinity binding matrices ? > >Thanks, > >Stephen Mack > >Grad Student >The Hospital for Sick Children >Brain Tumour Research Centre >Toronto, ON >Canada

Hmmn, how exactly are you retrieving the matrix? When I run dba.peakset as described below, the columns are named using the DBA_ID value for the sample. Can you send a sessionInfo() so I can see what version you are working on? Here's what I see: > data(tamoxifen_counts) > tamoxifen = dba.count(tamoxifen,peaks=NULL,score=DBA_SCORE_READS) > dba.peakset(tamoxifen,bRetrieve=T) GRanges with 1654 ranges and 11 metadata columns: seqnames ranges strand | BT474.1.
