DUreport: Differential gene expression and differential bin usage...

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) See Also Examples

Description

Estimate differential expression at gene level and differential usage at bin level. When targets has only two conditions, and contrast is not set, the estimation of differential expression and usage is done with an exact test, otherwise is estimated using a generalized linear model.

Arguments

counts

An object of class ASpliCounts

targets

A data.frame containing sample, bam and experimental factor columns.

minGenReads

Genes with at least an average of minGenReads reads for any condition are included into the differential expression test. Bins from genes with at least an average of minGenReads reads for all conditions are included into the differential bin usage test. Default value is 10 reads.

minBinReads

Bins with at least an average of minGenReads reads for any condition are included into the differential bin usage test. Default value is 5 reads.

minRds

Genes with at least an average of minRds read density for any condition are included into the differential expression test. Bins from genes with at least an average of minRds read density for all conditions are included into the differential bin usage test. Bins with at least an average of minRds read density for any condition are included into the differential bin usage test. Default value is 0.05.

ignoreExternal

Ignore Exon Bins at the beginning or end of the transcript. Default value is TRUE.

ignoreIo

Ignore original introns. Default TRUE

ignoreI

Ignore intron bins, test is performed only for exons. Default FALSE

offset

Corrects bin expression using an offset matrix derived from gene expression data. Default = FALSE

offsetAggregateMode

Choose the method to aggregate gene counts to create the offset matrix. When offsetAggregateMode is 'geneMode' and option offsetUseFitGeneX is TRUE, a generalized linear model is used to create the offset matrix. When offsetAggregateMode is 'geneMode' and option offsetUseFitGeneX is FALSE, the offset matrix is generated by adding a prior count to the gene count matrix. When offsetAggregateMode is 'binMode' a matrix from obtained from the sum of exonic bin counts, this only takes those bins that passes filters using minGenReads, minBinReads and minRds. Options:=c( "geneMode", "binMode" )[ 1 ]

,

offsetUseFitGeneX

Default= TRUE

contrast

Define the comparison between conditions to be tested. contrast should be a vector with length equal to the number of experimental conditions defined by targets. The values of this vector are the coefficients that will be used to weight each condition, the order of the values corresponds to the order given by getConditions function. When contrast is NULL, defaults to a vector containing -1, as the first value, 1 as the second an zero for all the remaining values, this corresponds to a pair comparison where the first condition is assumed to be a control and the second condition is the treatment, all other conditions are ignored. Default = NULL

forceGLM

Force the use of a generalized linear model to estimate differential expression and usage. Default = FALSE

filterWithContrasted

A logical value specifying if bins, genes and junction will be filtered by read quantity and read density using data from those conditions that will be used in the comparison, i.e. those which coefficients in contrast argument are different from zero. The default value is FALSE, it is strongly recommended to do not change this value.

verbose

A logical value that indicates that detailed information about each step in the analysis will be presented to the user.

Value

An ASpliDU object with results at genes, bins level.
