Dear Bioconductors Friends,
I have a question that I dont found answer for it. Please, if you have a
paper/article that explain it, please, tell me.
I normalize our data using normalize.quantile function.
If I previous transform our intensities (single channel) in log2, I dont
get differentially genes in limma.
But, if I dont transform our data, I get some genes with p.value around
0.0001, thats is great!
Of course, when I transform the intensities data to log2, I get some NA.
Why are there this difference? Am I wrong in does an analysis with not
loged data?
Thanks a lot
Marcelo
