Hello everyone,

I am analyzing coad-tcga dataset and there are two sequencing platforms used, illuminaHiseq and IlluminaGA. Is there a way to remove batch effects in DESeq2 package prior to differential expression or does the GLM remove it automatically (which i dont hink happens).

Thanks!

Take a look at our vignette. There we have a section on multi-factor design which shows how to control for covariates.

Thank you Michael for your prompt response. I did normalization and i'm getting an MA plot like this

Do you think its acceptable? I have doubts because its not aligned to zero.

Thank you once again

Sorry for writting separately but just came to my mind to use shrinkage with apeglm package and got this

Now i think the problem is solved, though your feedback would be highly valuable.

Thanks again
