We need to remove the first “length” column from countData to have a 1:1 correspondance with colData rows

Q. Complete the code below to remove the troublesome first column from countData

countData <- countData[,-1]
rownames(colData) == colnames(countData)
[1] TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE

Q. Complete the code below to filter countData to exclude genes (i.e. rows) where we have 0 read count across all samples (i.e. columns).

Remove zero count genes

Some genes (rows) have no count data (i.e. zero values). We should remove these before any further analysis.

to.keep <- rowSums(countData) > 0
countData <- countData[to.keep,]

DESeq Analysis

Setup for DESeq

dds <- DESeqDataSetFromMatrix(countData=countData, colData=colData, design=~condition)
Warning in DESeqDataSet(se, design = design, ignoreRank): some variables in
design formula are characters, converting to factors

Run DESeq

dds <- DESeq(dds)
estimating size factors

estimating dispersions

gene-wise dispersion estimates

mean-dispersion relationship

final dispersion estimates

fitting model and testing

Get Results

res <- results(dds)

#Results

Q. Call the summary() function on your results to get a sense of how many genes are up or down-regulated at the default 0.1 p-value cutoff.

Volcano plot

library(ggplot2)

ggplot(res) +
  aes(log2FoldChange,
      -log(padj))+
  geom_point()
Warning: Removed 1237 rows containing missing values or values outside the scale range
(`geom_point()`).

Let’s add some color to this plot along with cutoff lines for fold-change and P-value

Q. Improve this plot by completing the below code, which adds color, axis labels and cutoff lines:

mycols <- rep("gray", nrow(res))
mycols[abs(res$log2FoldChange) > 2] <- "blue"
mycols[res$padj > 0.01] <- "gray"
ggplot(res) +
  aes(log2FoldChange,
      -log(padj))+
  geom_point(col=mycols) +
  geom_vline(xintercept=c(-2,2)) +
  geom_hline(yintercept=-log(0.01))
Warning: Removed 1237 rows containing missing values or values outside the scale range

res$symbol = mapIds(org.Hs.eg.db,
                    keys=rownames(res),

Reactome Analysis

We can use the new(ish) Reactome pathway viewer online at https://reactome.org/user/guide

sig_genes <- res[res$padj <= 0.05 & !is.na(res$padj), "symbol"]
print(paste("Total number of significant genes:", length(sig_genes)))
[1] "Total number of significant genes: 8147"

THe website wants a list of genes to work with. We can write one out with the write.table() function:

write.table(sig_genes, file="significant_genes.txt", row.names=FALSE, col.names=FALSE, quote=FALSE)

Q: What pathway has the most significant “Entities p-value”? Do the most significant pathways listed match your previous KEGG results? What factors could cause differences between the two methods?

For my data, the Cell Cycle, Mitotic has the most significant entities p-value. This was different than the KEGG results because the KEGG only shows the general process while the Reactome shows the more specific role of how its Mitotic.

And a figure from Reactome:
