I would like to save the top genes that best distinguish the samples used to construct the MDS in edgeR but I don't know how. Is there a way to do it? Thanks in advance -- María Jesús García Pereira [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear Maria, No you can't do this. The reason why we don't tell you which were the top genes is that the selection of top genes is different for every pairwise comparison between the samples. For example, if you are plotting ten samples, then there are choose(10,2) = 45 different lists of top genes.
