Arguments

geneExpMatrix1

gene expression matrix for replicates of sample1 (or replicate1 when method="CTR").

geneCol1

gene id column in geneExpMatrix1.

expCol1

expression value columns in geneExpMatrix1 for replicates of sample1 (numeric vector).
Note: Each column corresponds to a replicate of sample1.

depth1

the total number of reads uniquely mapped to genome for each replicate of sample1 (numeric vector),
default: take the total number of reads mapped to all annotated genes as the depth for each replicate.

groupLabel1

label of group1 on the plots.

geneExpMatrix2

gene expression matrix for replicates of sample2 (or replicate2 when method="CTR").

geneCol2

gene id column in geneExpMatrix2.

expCol2

expression value columns in geneExpMatrix2 for replicates of sample2 (numeric vector).
Note: Each column corresponds to a replicate of sample2.

depth2

the total number of reads uniquely mapped to genome for each replicate of sample2 (numeric vector),
default: take the total number of reads mapped to all annotated genes as the depth for each replicate.

groupLabel2

label of group2 on the plots.

method

method to identify differentially expressed genes. Possible methods are:

  • "LRT": Likelihood Ratio Test (Marioni et al. 2008),

  • "CTR": Check whether the variation between Technical Replicates can be explained by the random sampling model (Wang et al. 2009),

  • "FET": Fisher's Exact Test (Joshua et al. 2009),

  • "MARS": MA-plot-based method with Random Sampling model (Wang et al. 2009),

  • "MATR": MA-plot-based method with Technical Replicates (Wang et al. 2009),

  • "FC" : Fold-Change threshold on MA-plot.

pValue

pValue threshold (for the methods: LRT, FET, MARS, MATR).
only used when thresholdKind=1.

zScore

zScore threshold (for the methods: MARS, MATR).
only used when thresholdKind=2.

qValue

qValue threshold (for the methods: LRT, FET, MARS, MATR).
only used when thresholdKind=3 or thresholdKind=4.

thresholdKind

the kind of threshold. Possible kinds are:

  • 1: pValue threshold,

  • 2: zScore threshold,

  • 3: qValue threshold (Benjamini et al. 1995),

  • 4: qValue threshold (Storey et al. 2003),

  • 5: qValue threshold (Storey et al. 2003) and Fold-Change threshold on MA-plot are both required (can be used only when method="MARS").

foldChange

fold change threshold on MA-plot (for the method: FC).

outputDir

the output directory.

normalMethod

the normalization method: "none", "loess", "median" (Yang et al. 2002).
recommend: "none".

replicateExpMatrix1

matrix containing gene expression values for replicate batch1 (only used when method="MATR").

geneColR1

gene id column in the expression matrix for replicate batch1 (only used when method="MATR").

expColR1

expression value columns in the expression matrix for replicate batch1 (numeric vector) (only used when method="MATR").

depthR1

the total number of reads uniquely mapped to genome for each replicate in replicate batch1 (numeric vector),
default: take the total number of reads mapped to all annotated genes as the depth for each replicate (only used when method="MATR").

replicateLabel1

label of replicate batch1 on the plots (only used when method="MATR").

replicateExpMatrix2

matrix containing gene expression values for replicate batch2 (only used when method="MATR").
Note: replicate1 and replicate2 are two (groups of) technical replicates of a sample.

geneColR2

gene id column in the expression matrix for replicate batch2 (only used when method="MATR").

expColR2

expression value columns in the expression matrix for replicate batch2 (numeric vector) (only used when method="MATR").

depthR2

the total number of reads uniquely mapped to genome for each replicate in replicate batch2 (numeric vector),
default: take the total number of reads mapped to all annotated genes as the depth for each replicate (only used when method="MATR").

replicateLabel2

label of replicate batch2 on the plots (only used when method="MATR").

rawCount

a logical value indicating the gene expression values are based on raw read counts or normalized values.
