Dear list members, I would like to know if it is possible to use deseq for data with multiple groups (more than two) with no replicates. I went through the vignette but it only illustrates the case for two groups with no replicates. If it is not possible for the moment, do you know a method to study similarity/dissimilarity of gene/protein count data based on multiple groups with no replicates. I appreciate your feedback.

Dear Yolande Thanks. Can you clarify what you want to do: - per gene: ANOVA like estimation of effects in a factorial design - per sample: clustering or classification of samples based on overall (dis)similarity of expression profiles? From your post, I assume it's the latter. This is described in Section "Sample Clustering" of the vignette. (For the former, there are the functions nbinomFitGLM and nbinomGLMTest, but these will with the current implementation of DESeq only work if each cell of the design is replicated.)

Dear Wolfgang, I do have protein count data for 40 people (so no replicate). These are healthy people, no grouping. The goal is to look at similarity/dissimilarity of the 40 samples based on protein count (differential expression IF POSSIBLE) AND clustering of the proteins. As you said, clustering of samples can be done with the section "Sample Clustering" of the vignette. How would I go for clustering the proteins and look for differential expression (IF POSSIBLE).

How would > I go for clustering the proteins and look for differential expression (IF > POSSIBLE). The whole point of DESeq is to allow you to work in a small sample- size setting, where you need to pool data from several genes to get useful dispersion estimates. With 40 people, you are beyond that, and you can use any conventional tests that are suitable for overdispersed count data. I don't quite know what you mean by differential expression in this case anyway. No two persons will have the same protein level, so everything is differentially expressed in some way. Maybe, you may want to estimate the variance of the proteins and look for strongly varying versus weakly varying ones. Supplementary Note A of our paper on DESeq describes a simple method-of-moments estimate for the biological variance that subtracts the Poisson noise and deals with different sequencing depths. For a discussion of the clustering, DESeq's variance-stabilizing transformation might help for clustering genes in a similar way as for clustering samples. Simon

Hi Simon, Thank you for your reply. For clustering the proteins what would be conds (defined in the vignette) in cds3<-newCountdataSet(countsTable,conds) since there are many proteins with no specific condition.

Just put something, e.g., cds3 <- newCountDataSet( countsTable, rep( "dummy", ncol(countsTable) ) This assigns the same condition to all of them. Of course, you cannot use the 'nbinomTest' function, if you have only one condition, but that wouldn't make sense anyway. > In the vignette there were two conditions: "N" and "T". > For three different people (not 40), how you would define the cds in the command > res<=nbinom(cds,"N","T"). In a contrast, you compare two condition. In the vignette example, we ask: Is the expression in "T" stronger or weaker than in "N"? How would you generalize such a question to three conditions? I don't see what other option there is than to make three pair-wise comparisons -- unless you want to go away from the "which condition has the stronger expression?" kind of question to some other hypothesis formulation.

Hi Simon, I have tried clustering the proteins, first I transposed the data and applied the minimal set of commands but could not go further.

Dear Yolande did you note the error message and have you checked whether there are NA or other non-numeric values in your dataset?

In the vignette there were two conditions: "N" and "T". For three different people (not 40), how you would define the cds in the command res<=nbinom(cds,"N","T").
