![Normalize for library size
Original library size * scale factor = effective library size
DESeq will multiply original counts by the sample
scaling factor.
DESeq: This normalization method [14] is included in the DESeq Bioconductor package (version 1.6.0) [14] and is based on the hypothesis that most genes are not DE. A DESeq scaling
factor for a given lane is computed as the median of the ratio, for each gene, of its read count
over its geometric mean across all lanes. The underlying idea is that non-DE genes should have
similar read counts across samples, leading to a ratio of 1. Assuming most genes are not DE, the
median of this ratio for the lane provides an estimate of the correction factor that should be
applied to all read counts of this lane to fulfill the hypothesis
DESeq computes a scaling factor for a given sample by computing the median of the ratio, for each gene, of its
read count over its geometric mean across all samples. It then uses the assumption that most genes are not DE
and uses this median of ratios to obtain the scaling factor associated with this sample.

RNA-seq for DE analysis: detecting differential expression - part 5
This document outlines the methodology for detecting differentially expressed genes using RNA-seq data analysis, emphasizing the use of count tables to assign p-values indicating the likelihood of differences between conditions. It discusses normalization techniques, specifically through the DESeq package, to adjust for library size and employs statistical models to accurately estimate dispersion and improve testing outcomes. The presentation also highlights the importance of filtering out low-count genes and applying multiple testing corrections to control the false discovery rate.

- 2. Goal Based on acount table, we want to detect differentially expressed genes between conditions of interest. We will assign to each gene a p-value (0-1), which shows us 'how surprised we should be' to see this difference, when we assume there is no difference. 0 p-value 1 Very big chance there is a difference Very small chance there is a real difference
- 3. Goal Every single decisionwe have taken in previous analysis steps was done to improve this outcome of detecting DE expressed genes.

- 16. Dispersion estimation ● ● For everygene, an NB is fitted based on the counts. The most important factor in that model to be estimated is the dispersion. DESeq2 applies three steps ● Estimates dispersion parameter for each gene ● Plots and fits a curve ● Adjusts the dispersion parameter towards the curve ('shrinking')

- 18. Test is runbetween conditions If 2 conditions are compared, for each gene 2 NB models (one for each condition) are made, and a test (Wald test) decides whether the difference is significant (red in plot). MA-plot: mean of counts versus the log2 fold change between 2 conditions. Significant (p-value < 0,01) Not significant
- 19. Test is runbetween conditions If 2 conditions are compared, for each gene 2 NB models (one for each condition) are made, and a test (Wald test) decides whether the difference is significant (red in plot). This means that we are going to perform 1000's of tests. If we set a cut-off on the p-value of 0,01 and we have performed 20000 tests (= genes), 1000 genes will appear significant by chance.
- 20. Check the distributionof p-values An enrichment (smaller or Bigger) should be seen at low P-values. If the histogram of the p-values does not match a profile as shown below, the test is not reliable. Perhaps the NB fitting step did not succeed, or confounding variables are present. Other p-values should not show a trend.

- 24. Independent filtering Some scientistsjust remove genes with mean counts in the samples <10. But there is a more formal method to remove genes, in order to reduce the testing. http://www.bioconductor.org/help/course-materials/2012/Bressanone2012/ From this collection, read 2012-07-04-Huber-Multiple-testing-independent-filtering.pdf
- 25. Independent filtering Left ascatter plot of mean counts versus transformed p-values. The red line depicts a cut-off of 0,1. Note that genes with lower counts do not reach the p-value threshold. Some of them are save to exclude from testing. http://www.bioconductor.org/help/course-materials/2012/Bressanone2012/ From this collection, read 2012-07-04-Huber-Multiple-testing-independent-filtering.pdf
- 26. Independent filtering If wefilter out increasingly bigger portions of genes based on their mean counts, the number of significant genes increase.
