# 1 Basic DESeq2 results exploration

Project: SRP009615.

# 2 Introduction

This report is meant to help explore DESeq2 (Love, Huber, and Anders, 2014) results and was generated using the `regionReport` (Collado-Torres, Jaffe, and Leek, 2016) package. While the report is rich, it is meant to just start the exploration of the results and exemplify some of the code used to do so. If you need a more in-depth analysis for your specific data set you might want to use the `customCode` argument. This report is based on the vignette of the `DESeq2` (Love, Huber, and Anders, 2014) package which you can find here.

## 2.1 Code setup

This section contains the code for setting up the rest of the report.

    ## knitrBoostrap and device chunk options
    library('knitr')
    opts_chunk$set(bootstrap.show.code = FALSE, dev = device, crop = NULL)
    if(!outputIsHTML) opts_chunk$set(bootstrap.show.code = FALSE, dev = device, echo = FALSE)

    #### Libraries needed

    ## Bioconductor
    library('DESeq2')
    if(isEdgeR) library('edgeR')

    ## CRAN
    library('ggplot2')
    if(!is.null(theme)) theme_set(theme)
    library('knitr')
    if(is.null(colors)) {
        library('RColorBrewer')
    }
    library('pheatmap')
    library('DT')
    library('sessioninfo')

    #### Code setup

    ## For ggplot
    res.df <- as.data.frame(res)

    ## Sort results by adjusted p-values
    ord <- order(res.df$padj, decreasing = FALSE)
    res.df <- res.df[ord, ]
    features <- rownames(res.df)
    res.df <- cbind(data.frame(Feature = features), res.df)
    rownames(res.df) <- NULL

# 3 PCA

    ## Transform count data
    rld <- tryCatch(rlog(dds), error = function(e) { rlog(dds, fitType = 'mean') })

    ## Perform PCA analysis and make plot
    plotPCA(rld, intgroup = intgroup)

    ## Get percent of variance explained
    data_pca <- plotPCA(rld, intgroup = intgroup, returnData = TRUE)
    percentVar <- round(100 * attr(data_pca, "percentVar"))

The above plot shows the first two principal components that explain the variability in the data using the regularized log count data. If you are unfamiliar with principal component analysis, you might want to check the Wikipedia entry or this interactive explanation. In this case, the first and second principal component explain 65 and 15 percent of the variance respectively.

# 4 Sample-to-sample distances

    ## Obtain the sample euclidean distances
    sampleDists <- dist(t(assay(rld)))
    sampleDistMatrix <- as.matrix(sampleDists)
    ## Add names based on intgroup
    rownames(sampleDistMatrix) <- apply(as.data.frame(colData(rld)[, intgroup]), 1,
        paste, collapse = ' : ')
    colnames(sampleDistMatrix) <- NULL

    ## Define colors to use for the heatmap if none were supplied
    if(is.null(colors)) {
        colors <- colorRampPalette( rev(brewer.pal(9, "Blues")) )(255)
    }

    ## Make the heatmap
    pheatmap(sampleDistMatrix, clustering_distance_rows = sampleDists,
        clustering_distance_cols = sampleDists, color = colors)

This plot shows how samples are clustered based on their euclidean distance using the regularized log transformed count data. This figure gives an overview of how the samples are hierarchically clustered. It is a complementary figure to the PCA plot.

# 5 MA plots

This section contains three MA plots (see Wikipedia) that compare the mean of the normalized counts against the log fold change. They show one point per feature. The points are shown in red if the feature has an adjusted p-value less than `alpha`, that is, the statistically significant features are shown in red.

    ## MA plot with alpha used in DESeq2::results()
    plotMA(res, alpha = metadata(res)$alpha, main = paste('MA plot with alpha =',
        metadata(res)$alpha))

    ## Warning in plot.window(...): "alpha" is not a graphical parameter

    ## Warning in plot.xy(xy, type, ...): "alpha" is not a graphical parameter

    ## Warning in axis(side = side, at = at, labels = labels, ...): "alpha" is not a
    ## graphical parameter

    ## Warning in axis(side = side, at = at, labels = labels, ...): "alpha" is not a
    ## graphical parameter

    ## Warning in box(...): "alpha" is not a graphical parameter

    ## Warning in title(...): "alpha" is not a graphical parameter

This first plot shows uses `alpha` = 0.1, which is the `alpha` value used to determine which resulting features were significant when running the function `DESeq2::results()`.

    ## MA plot with alpha = 1/2 of the alpha used in DESeq2::results()
    plotMA(res, alpha = metadata(res)$alpha / 2,
        main = paste('MA plot with alpha =', metadata(res)$alpha / 2))

    ## Warning in plot.window(...): "alpha" is not a graphical parameter

    ## Warning in plot.xy(xy, type, ...): "alpha" is not a graphical parameter

    ## Warning in axis(side = side, at = at, labels = labels, ...): "alpha" is not a
    ## graphical parameter

    ## Warning in axis(side = side, at = at, labels = labels, ...): "alpha" is not a
    ## graphical parameter

    ## Warning in box(...): "alpha" is not a graphical parameter

    ## Warning in title(...): "alpha" is not a graphical parameter

This second MA plot uses `alpha` = 0.05 and can be used agains the first MA plot to identify which features have adjusted p-values between 0.05 and 0.1.

    ## MA plot with alpha corresponding to the one that gives the nBest features
    nBest.actual <- min(nBest, nrow(head(res.df, n = nBest)))
    nBest.alpha <- head(res.df, n = nBest)$padj[nBest.actual]
    plotMA(res, alpha = nBest.alpha * 1.00000000000001,
        main = paste('MA plot for top', nBest.actual, 'features'))

    ## Warning in plot.window(...): "alpha" is not a graphical parameter

    ## Warning in plot.xy(xy, type, ...): "alpha" is not a graphical parameter

    ## Warning in axis(side = side, at = at, labels = labels, ...): "alpha" is not a
    ## graphical parameter

    ## Warning in axis(side = side, at = at, labels = labels, ...): "alpha" is not a
    ## graphical parameter

    ## Warning in box(...): "alpha" is not a graphical parameter

    ## Warning in title(...): "alpha" is not a graphical parameter

The third and final MA plot uses an alpha such that the top 10 features are shown in the plot. These are the features that whose details are included in the top features interactive table.

# 6 P-values distribution

    ## P-value histogram plot
    ggplot(res.df[!is.na(res.df$pvalue), ], aes(x = pvalue)) +
        geom_histogram(alpha=.5, position='identity', bins = 50) +
        labs(title='Histogram of unadjusted p-values') +
        xlab('Unadjusted p-values') +
        xlim(c(0, 1.0005))

    ## Warning: Removed 2 rows containing missing values (`geom_bar()`).

This plot shows a histogram of the unadjusted p-values. It might be skewed right or left, or flat as shown in the Wikipedia examples. The shape depends on the percent of features that are differentially expressed. For further information on how to interpret a histogram of p-values check David Robinson’s post on this topic.

# 10 Reproducibility

The input for this report was generated with DESeq2 (Love, Huber, and Anders, 2014) using version 1.38.3 and the resulting features were called significantly differentially expressed if their BH adjusted p-values were less than `alpha` = 0.1. This report was generated in path /private/tmp/RtmppXpoAk/Rbuild12a1d70e76efc/recount/vignettes using the following call to DESeq2Report():

    ## DESeq2Report(dds = dds, project = "SRP009615", intgroup = c("group",
    ##     "gene_target"), res = res, nBest = 10, nBestFeatures = 2,
    ##     outdir = ".", output = "SRP009615-results", device = "png",
    ##     template = "SRP009615-results-template.Rmd")

This report was created with `regionReport` (Collado-Torres, Jaffe, and Leek, 2016) using `rmarkdown` (Allaire, Xie, McPherson, Luraschi, Ushey, Atkins, Wickham, Cheng, Chang, and Iannone, 2023) while `knitr` (Xie, 2014) and `DT` (Xie, Cheng, and Tan, 2023) were running behind the scenes. `pheatmap` (Kolde, 2019) was used to create the sample distances heatmap. Several plots were made with `ggplot2` (Wickham, 2016).
