Description

A function to generate code that can be run to perform differential expression analysis of RNAseq data (comparing two conditions) using the DESeq2 package. The code is written to a .Rmd file. This function is generally not called by the user, the main interface for performing differential expression analysis is the runDiffExp function.

DESeq2.createRmd(
  data.path,
  result.path,
  codefile,
  fit.type,
  test,
  beta.prior = TRUE,
  independent.filtering = TRUE,
  cooks.cutoff = TRUE,
  impute.outliers = TRUE
)

Arguments

data.path

The path to a .rds file containing the compData object that will be used for the differential expression analysis.

result.path

The path to the file where the result object will be saved.

codefile

The path to the file where the code will be written.

fit.type

The fitting method used to get the dispersion-mean relationship. Possible values are "parametric", "local" and "mean".

test

The test to use. Possible values are "Wald" and "LRT".

beta.prior

Whether or not to put a zero-mean normal prior on the non-intercept coefficients. Default is TRUE.

independent.filtering

Whether or not to perform independent filtering of the data. With independent filtering=TRUE, the adjusted p-values for genes not passing the filter threshold are set to NA.

cooks.cutoff

The cutoff value for the Cook's distance to consider a value to be an outlier. Set to Inf or FALSE to disable outlier detection. For genes with detected outliers, the p-value and adjusted p-value will be set to NA.

impute.outliers

Whether or not the outliers should be replaced by a trimmed mean and the analysis rerun.

Details

For more information about the methods and the interpretation of the parameters, see the DESeq2 package and the corresponding publications.

Value

The function generates a .Rmd file containing the code for performing the differential expression analysis. This file can be executed using e.g. the knitr package.
