I’ve noticed that changes have been made to Express analyst for the “Statistical & Functional Analysis” for “A gene expression table”. When I normalize my RNAseq counts data (log 2 counts per million), I can no longer use use EdgeR for my comparisons of interest (i.e. “against a common control” or “pairewise”). Also, there’s an error message that appears even when I switch to Limma, and I’m unable to proceed to the dose response data…
How come, I can no longer use EdgeR (with normalized data) for DEG analysis? Also, when I use the suggested Limma for normalized data I get an error message…
The issue here is that your metadata are numbers. If you change to D0, D1, etc, it will work. We will add more checks so that ExpressAnalyst will warn you about this specific issue.
