... Since RNA-seq is count based, in an RNA-seq analysis at the gene level the noise in individual counts for genes can be assumed to be Poisson (variance equal to the mean). This is an estimate of "technical variation", but does not include "biological varation". This would be the equivalent of the Kal ...

Comment: C: Limma-voom vs limma-trend
... If you examine the documentation to contrasts.fit, there is a warning that using weights with a non-orthogonal design matrix uses an approximation. Since voom uses weights on inidividual observations, and limma-trend does not, this could be an advantage to using limma-trend. ...

... limma's barcodeplot function by default draws a pale red rectangle for statistics greater than sqrt(2) and a pale blue rectangle for statistics less than -sqrt(2). What is the reasoning is behind this choice? Is the expectation that statistics follows a standard normal distribution for genes that a ...

... Hello, I have some data from a variant of RNA-seq which I am hoping do some moderated t-test differential testing on with limma. In this data, many of the reads have sequenced through into the poly(A) tail, and we believe this gives us information about changes in poly(A) tail length. For each gen ...

... Hello, We have been using voom and limma for some time now, and while we're fairly happy with it, it seems to produce significance levels that are on the conservative side. We also use edgeR to produce more optimistic results, but don't entirely trust the significance levels that it reports. I am l ...
