Uses empirical Bayes estimation and exact tests based on the negative binomial distribution. Also useful for differential signal analysis with other types of genome-scale count data [1]. + +For every experiment, the algorithm requires a design matrix. This matrix describes which samples belong to which groups. +More details on this are given in the edgeR manual: http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/2.12/bioc/vignettes/edgeR/inst/doc/edgeRUsersGuide.pdf +and the limma manual. + +Because the creation of a design matrix can be complex and time consuming, especially if no GUI is used, this package comes with an alternative tool which can help you with it. +This tool is called *edgeR Design Matrix Creator*. +If the appropriate design matrix (with corresponding links to the files) is given, +the correct contrast ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrast_(statistics) ) has to be given. + +If you have for example two groups, with an equal weight, you would like to compare either +"g1-g2" or "normal-cancer". + +The test function makes use of a MCF7 dataset used in a study that indicates that a higher sequencing depth is not neccesairily more important than a higher amount of replaciates[2]. + +Input +----- +Expression matrix +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +:: + + Geneid "\t" Sample-1 "\t" Sample-2 "\t" Sample-3 "\t" Sample-4 [...] "\n" + SMURF "\t" 123 "\t" 21 "\t" 34545 "\t" 98 ...
