## DEGexp2: Identifying Differentially Expressed Genes from gene expression data

### Description

This function is another (old) version of DEGexp. It takes the gene expression files as input instead of gene expression matrixs.

### Usage

    DEGexp2(geneExpFile1, geneCol1=1, expCol1=2, depth1=rep(0, length(expCol1)), groupLabel1="group1",
            geneExpFile2, geneCol2=1, expCol2=2, depth2=rep(0, length(expCol2)), groupLabel2="group2",
            header=TRUE, sep="", method=c("LRT", "CTR", "FET", "MARS", "MATR", "FC"),
            pValue=1e-3, zScore=4, qValue=1e-3, foldChange=4,
            thresholdKind=1, outputDir="none", normalMethod=c("none", "loess", "median"),
            replicate1="none", geneColR1=1, expColR1=2, depthR1=rep(0, length(expColR1)), replicateLabel1="replicate1",
            replicate2="none", geneColR2=1, expColR2=2, depthR2=rep(0, length(expColR2)), replicateLabel2="replicate2", rawCount=TRUE)

### Arguments

`geneExpFile1` | file containing gene expression values for replicates of sample1 (or replicate1 when `method="CTR"`).
`geneCol1` | gene id column in geneExpFile1.
`expCol1` | expression value columns in geneExpFile1 for replicates of sample1 (numeric vector). Note: Each column corresponds to a replicate of sample1.
`depth1` | the total number of reads uniquely mapped to genome for each replicate of sample1 (numeric vector), default: take the total number of reads mapped to all annotated genes as the depth for each replicate.
`groupLabel1` | label of group1 on the plots.
`geneExpFile2` | file containing gene expression values for replicates of sample2 (or replicate2 when `method="CTR"`).
`geneCol2` | gene id column in geneExpFile2.
`expCol2` | expression value columns in geneExpFile2 for replicates of sample2 (numeric vector). Note: Each column corresponds to a replicate of sample2.
`depth2` | the total number of reads uniquely mapped to genome for each replicate of sample2 (numeric vector), default: take the total number of reads mapped to all annotated genes as the depth for each replicate.
`groupLabel2` | label of group2 on the plots.
`header` | a logical value indicating whether geneExpFile1 and geneExpFile2 contain the names of the variables as its first line. See `?read.table`.
`sep` | the field separator character. If sep = "" (the default for read.table) the separator is white space, that is one or more spaces, tabs, newlines or carriage returns. See `?read.table`.
`method` | method to identify differentially expressed genes. Possible methods are: `"LRT"`: Likelihood Ratio Test (Marioni et al. 2008), `"CTR"`: Check whether the variation between Technical Replicates can be explained by the random sampling model (Wang et al. 2009), `"FET"`: Fisher's Exact Test (Joshua et al. 2009), `"MARS"`: MA-plot-based method with Random Sampling model (Wang et al. 2009), `"MATR"`: MA-plot-based method with Technical Replicates (Wang et al. 2009), `"FC"` : Fold-Change threshold on MA-plot.
`pValue` | pValue threshold (for the methods: `LRT, FET, MARS, MATR`). only used when `thresholdKind=1`.
`zScore` | zScore threshold (for the methods: `MARS, MATR`). only used when `thresholdKind=2`.
`qValue` | qValue threshold (for the methods: `LRT, FET, MARS, MATR`). only used when `thresholdKind=3` or `thresholdKind=4`.
`thresholdKind` | the kind of threshold. Possible kinds are: `1`: pValue threshold, `2`: zScore threshold, `3`: qValue threshold (Benjamini et al. 1995), `4`: qValue threshold (Storey et al. 2003), `5`: qValue threshold (Storey et al. 2003) and Fold-Change threshold on MA-plot are both required (can be used only when `method="MARS"`).
`foldChange` | fold change threshold on MA-plot (for the method: `FC`).
`outputDir` | the output directory.
`normalMethod` | the normalization method: `"none", "loess", "median"` (Yang et al. 2002). recommend: `"none"`.
`replicate1` | file containing gene expression values for replicate batch1 (only used when `method="MATR"`). Note: replicate1 and replicate2 are two (groups of) technical replicates of a sample.
`geneColR1` | gene id column in the expression file for replicate batch1 (only used when `method="MATR"`).
`expColR1` | expression value columns in the expression file for replicate batch1 (numeric vector) (only used when `method="MATR"`).
`depthR1` | the total number of reads uniquely mapped to genome for each replicate in replicate batch1 (numeric vector), default: take the total number of reads mapped to all annotated genes as the depth for each replicate (only used when `method="MATR"`).
`replicateLabel1` | label of replicate batch1 on the plots (only used when `method="MATR"`).
`replicate2` | file containing gene expression values for replicate batch2 (only used when `method="MATR"`). Note: replicate1 and replicate2 are two (groups of) technical replicates of a sample.
`geneColR2` | gene id column in the expression file for replicate batch2 (only used when `method="MATR"`).
`expColR2` | expression value columns in the expression file for replicate batch2 (numeric vector) (only used when `method="MATR"`).
`depthR2` | the total number of reads uniquely mapped to genome for each replicate in replicate batch2 (numeric vector), default: take the total number of reads mapped to all annotated genes as the depth for each replicate (only used when `method="MATR"`).
`replicateLabel2` | label of replicate batch2 on the plots (only used when `method="MATR"`).
`rawCount` | a logical value indicating the gene expression values are based on raw read counts or normalized values.
