Hi!

I am having some difficulty defining the correct contrast to test for synergy of two treatments A & B vs AB using the deseq2 results function. Treatment has 4 levels A, B, combined AB and reference level control.

When I set up contrasts e.g. ( AB - control ) - [(A - control) + (B - control)] I end up with AB - A - B + control! How can I get rid of the double counted control here? What am I missing? My design is ~ donor + condition + treatment + treatment:condition

Thanks in advance for your time.

Can you provide your colData, and more description of what you are looking to test for? You haven't described condition yet.

Thanks for helping Michael, Condition has two levels. I want to test if the combined AB treatment is different from the additive A and B treatment (AB - A - B) within either conditions. First in the reference condition, later adding the interaction term to test within the hypoxia condition.

Easiest is to code this as colData with the columns: condition, A (ctrl/trt), and B (ctrl/trt).

Then your design is ~condition + A + B + condition:A + condition:B + A:B + condition:A:B

Not sure I fully understand, could you explain a bit more in detail? Did you note that I have 4 levels in my treatment column? (A, B, AB and control) As I read it now I would create extra dummy columns in colData consisting of ones and zeros, with column A having entries as ones for when treatment is control or treatment A, and column B having entries as ones for when treatment is control or B. On paper I would not be able to set up the correct contrast? I'd get this I think:
(A + control - B - AB) - (B + control - A - AB) so I still do not end up with A + B - AB.

The design I suggested will allow you to assess whether there is an interaction with A and B, and whether this is same or different across condition. As it’s a complex design, if you’re not certain about the terms and how to connect them to interpretations, I’d recommend you to collaborate with a local statistician.

I am trying to do a similar test for synergy between treatments with a somewhat simpler experimental design. I have data from 3 animals that were treated with hormone A, hormone B, or their combination. Each animal received each of the treatments, so my original model design includes blocking by individual: ~ Animal + Treatment.

I would like to test for synergy between treatments A and B. Can you please suggest a model design for this, as well as how to extract genes showing synergistic rather than additive effects using the results function?

colData:

sample            animal        treatment
con_rep1          1             control
con_rep2          2             control
cont_rep3         3             control
hormA_rep1        1             hormone A
hormA_rep2        2             hormone A
hormA_rep3        3             hormone A
hormB_rep1        1             hormone B
hormB_rep2        2             hormone B
hormB_rep3        3             hormone B
hormAB_rep1       1            hormone A + hormone B
hormAB_rep2       2            hormone A + hormone B
hormAB_rep3       3            hormone A + hormone B
