run_DESeq2 {systemPipeR} | R Documentation

## Runs DESeq2

### Description

Convenience wrapper function to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in batch mode with `DESeq2` for any number of pairwise sample comparisons specified under the `cmp` argument. Users are strongly encouraged to consult the `DESeq2` vignette for more detailed information on this topic and how to properly run `DESeq2` on data sets with more complex experimental designs.

### Usage

    run_DESeq2(countDF, targets, cmp, independent = FALSE)

### Arguments

`countDF` | `date.frame` containing raw read counts
`targets` | targets `data.frame`
`cmp` | `character matrix` where comparisons are defined in two columns. This matrix should be generated with the `readComp()` function from the targets file. Values used for comparisons need to match those in the `Factor` column of the targets file.
`independent` | If `independent=TRUE` then the `countDF` will be subsetted for each comparison. This behavior can be useful when working with samples from unrelated studies. For samples from the same or comparable studies, the setting `independent=FALSE` is usually preferred.

### Value

`data.frame` containing `DESeq2` results from all comparisons. Comparison labels are appended to column titles for tracking.
