Hi all,
my experiment is a 2-color direct comparison wt vs mutant, but repeated on
5 successive timepoints.
each timepoint is structured this way:
FileName Cy3 Cy5
1 mu1 wt1
2 wt1 mu1
3 mu2 wt2
4 wt2 mu2
(1 and 2 are to distinguish the 2 bioreps)
I'm interested not only in the DE genes between wt and mutant at each
timepoint, but I would like to extract information independently from the
wt and mutant time-courses, even if I don't have direct comparison between
successive timepoints. Is this possible? I think there is an example in
limma's user guide (chapter 16, time-course experiments), but it is for
one-color array (at least, I guess), and I don't really know how to adapt
the script to my case.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? (please forgive my lack of
statistical knowledge!)
Thank you.
Federico
