Gene Expression - C.bairdi MEGAN6 with Trinity and EdgeR

After completing annotation of the C.bairdi MEGAN6 taxonomic-specific Trinity assembly using Trinotate on 20200126, I performed differential gene expression analysis and gene ontology (GO) term enrichment analysis using Trinity’s scripts to run EdgeR and GOseq, respectively, across all of the various treatment comparisons. The comparison are listed below and link to each individual SBATCH script (GitHub) used to run these on Mox.

It should be noted that most of these comparisons do not have any replicate samples (e.g. D12 infected vs D12 uninfected). I made a weak attempt to coerce some results from these by setting a dispersion value in the edgeR command. However, I’m not expecting much, nor am I certain I would really trust the results from those particular comparisons.

Comparisons:


D12_infected-vs-D12_uninfected

Took a little less than 20mins to run:

Mox runtime for D12 infected vs D12 uninfeced

Only a single DEG, which is upregulated in the infected set:

MA/volcano plot of D12 infected vs D12 uninfeced

TRINITY_DN10191_c0_g1 - SPID: Q36421 (Cyctochrome c oxidase I)


D12_infected-vs-D26_infected

Took ~18mins to run:

D12 infected vs D26 infected runtime

No differentially expressed genes between these two groups.

NOTE: Since no DEGs, that’s why this run shows as FAILED in the above runtime screencap. This log file captures the error message that kills the job and generates the FAILED indicator:

Error, no differentially expressed transcripts identified at cuttoffs: P:0.05, C:1 at /gscratch/srlab/programs/trinityrnaseq-v2.9.0/Analysis/DifferentialExpression/analyze_diff_expr.pl line 203.


D12_uninfected-vs-D26_uninfected

Took ~18mins to run:

D12 uninfected vs D26 uninfected runtime

No differentially expressed genes between these two groups.

NOTE: Since no DEGs, that’s why this run shows as FAILED in the above runtime screencap. This log file captures the error message that kills the job and generates the FAILED indicator:

Error, no differentially expressed transcripts identified at cuttoffs: P:0.05, C:1 at /gscratch/srlab/programs/trinityrnaseq-v2.9.0/Analysis/DifferentialExpression/analyze_diff_expr.pl line 203.


D12-vs-D26

Took ~40mins to run:

D12 vs D26 runtime

D12 vs D26 expression heatmap

D12 upregulated genes:

D12 GO enrichment identified zero enriched and five depleted:

D26 upregulated genes:

D26 GO enrichment identified four up-regulated enriched GO terms (all in the “molecular function” category) and five up-regulated depleted GO terms (all in the “biological process” category).


D26_infected-vs-D26_uninfected

No differentially expressed genes between these two groups.

NOTE: Since no DEGs, that’s why this run shows as FAILED in the above runtime screencap. This log file captures the error message that kills the job and generates the FAILED indicator:
