    Dear All,
I have some queries regarding design matrix for two group(Control vs.
KO)
Differential expression.I am using edgeR for this. Here is the ording
of my
question:- 1) Sample table for design matrix, 2) Design matrix, 3)
Questions.
*1) Sample table for design matrix*
     Sample                 Strain                    Condition
     KO1-A                   1                              KO
     KO1-B                   1                              KO
     KO2-A                   2                              KO
     KO2-B                   2                              KO
     Cont1-A               1                              Control
     Cont1-B                1                              Control
     Cont2-A               2                              Control
     Cont2-B                2                              Control
*2) Design Matrix*
targets <- read.table(file= "Samples",sep="\t",header=TRUE)
design <- model.matrix(~Strain+Condition,targets)
> design
          (Intercept) Strain ConditionKO
KO1-A           1      1           1
KO1-B           1      1           1
KO2-A           1      2           1
KO2-B           1      2           1
Cont1-A           1      3           0
Cont1-B           1      3           0
Cont2-A           1      4           0
Cont2-B           1      4           0
attr(,"assign")
[1] 0 1 2
attr(,"contrasts")
attr(,"contrasts")$Condition
[1] "contr.treatment"
*3) Questions*
1)      *A)* During differential expression I also want to consider
different strain variation along with the control vs KO variation.  As
far
as I understand this design matrix only consider one Control vs KO for
DE.
I would like to known How I can make it consider strain variation as
well?
2)      *B)* After DE using the same design matrix with glmFit, I
inspect
the read count for the top down regulated gene and find out that the
read
count for this gene is very low in knockout as compare to Control . So
is
it means the comparison is Control vs KO and topTags gives the DEG
list in
KO as compare to Control?
I would appreciate your suggestion.
Kind Regards
