Dear all, I'm using edgeR for differential analysis of ChIPseq data between two group (3 samples for each group). All is fine up to TMM normalization (I have understand how the norm factor are calculated) but starting from this point my nightmare start.
I can't understand how my count matrix are used by estimateDisp, glmQLFit and glmQLFTest functions.
Can some of you explain in the easier way as possible (showing a matrix and showing how to calculate dispersion gene by gene) in order to better understand these steps?? Also tutorials where matrix and how to use it are shown could be helpful User guide is well written but I can't understand how 3 mentioned functions works.
Lot of beer for who will stop my nightmare
Thanks a lot
Hi ATpoint, thanks for your reply... I'm using Csaw for this project but i think don't matter since my doubt are about edgeR steps
After count the reads in windows and estimate the background I have filtered the data
and perform a TMM normalization
Then, I have make a matrix
and from here my nightmare start. I would like to know how from my count matrix I'll obtain fold change and Pvalue (how this is done step by step across the three functions reported below (estimateDisp, glmQLFit and glmQLFTest)
I'm able to carry out the analysis, but how it is done is not really clear. Thanks in advance for you time

, so you should follow the link and read the User's Guide. This support site is intended to help people with specific technical issues with the software rather than providing tutorial services. The vignettes are intended to provide that sort of information, and the edgeR User's Guide is better than most at doing so.If you read the User's Guide and have specific questions, please feel free to ask.
