Hi there, may I ask how i can obtain the normalization factors for each sample for this offsets and Loess normalization? I would like to scale my bigwig file according to the normalisation factors. However, I can't seem to find the $norm.facs object within tumor_normal_normalized_loess_blacklisted, which can be found in RLE or TMM normalization.

I would like to scale my bigwig files using the scaleFactor argument of bamCoverage from deepTools. Also, should I scale my bigwig files according to their respective normalisation factors exactly, or the inverse of the normalization factors generated from diffBind? Thank you!

Codes:

library(DiffBind)
library(edgeR)
library(tidyverse)
library(dplyr)

samples <- read.csv('Sample.csv')

# create a dba object which contains the peaksets of the samples
dbObj <-dba(sampleSheet = samples)
dbObj

# ========= Obtain consensus peaks ===========
# Get the peakset for tumor and normal
tumor_normal_peaks <- dba.peakset(dbObj, 
                                  consensus=DBA_FACTOR, 
                                  minOverlap = 2) 

tumor_normal_overlap <- dba(tumor_normal_peaks,
                            mask=tumor_normal_peaks$masks$Consensus,
                            minOverlap = 2)

consensus_peaks <- dba.peakset(tumor_normal_overlap, 
                               bRetrieve = TRUE) 

consensus_peaks

# ============ Affinity binding analysis ================
# Extract the tumor-normal overlap peaks from the peaksets of each individual sample

tumor_normal_count_loess <- dba.count(dbObj, 
                                      peaks=consensus_peaks, #specify the peak source. Peaks retrieved from tumor_normal_overlap
                                      bUseSummarizeOverlaps = TRUE)

# Remove unwanted blacklists
tumor_normal_count_loess_blacklisted <-dba.blacklist(tumor_normal_count_loess, blacklist = DBA_BLACKLIST_HG38, greylist = FALSE)

# ============ Loess fit Normalisation ==================

tumor_normal_count_loess_blacklisted$config$AnalysisMethod <- DBA_EDGER
tumor_normal_count_loess_blacklisted$config$AnalysisMethod

tumor_normal_normalized_loess_blacklisted <- dba.normalize(tumor_normal_count_loess_blacklisted,
                                               offsets = TRUE)
