Description Usage Arguments Details Value References

View source: R/differential_expression_external.R

Description

Identifies differentially expressed SJs between two groups of cells using a hurdle model tailored to scRNA-seq data. Utilizes the MAST package to run the DE testing.

Usage

1
MASTDETest(object, cells.1, cells.2, genes.use = NULL, ...)

Arguments

object

ICASDataSet object

cells.1

Group 1 cells

cells.2

Group 2 cells

genes.use

SJs to use for test

...

Additional parameters to zero-inflated regression (zlm) function in MAST

latent.vars

Confounding variables to adjust for in DE test. Default is "nUMI", which adjusts for cellular depth (i.e. cellular detection rate). For non-UMI based data, set to nGene instead.

Details

To use this method, please install MAST, using instructions at https://github.com/RGLab/MAST/

Value

Returns a p-value ranked matrix of putative differentially expressed SJs.
