[BioC] No significant p-values

[Dave Wettmann [guest]]

Hello,

I have constructed the following dataset for analysis using DESeq2:

class: DESeqDataSet
dim: 57396 10
exptData(0):
assays(1): counts
rownames(57396): ENSG00000223972 ENSG00000227232 ... ENSG00000210195
  ENSG00000210196
rowData metadata column names(0):
colnames(10): 1 2 ... 10 11
colData names(1): condition


> colData(ddsHTSeq)
DataFrame with 10 rows and 1 column
   condition
    <factor>
1         na
2         na
3  Resistant
4         na
5  Resistant
6  Resistant
7         na
8         na
10 Sensitive
11 Sensitive

I am interested in the differential expression between the drug resistant and sensitive samples ('na' are control samples).
I've clustered the samples and plotted a PCA as described in the vignette.  However, in each of these plots the samples do not cluster by their drug sensitivity but are distributed across the plot.  I don't have any more information about the samples with which to model any potential covariates.  
I was wondering if there were any pointers as to how I could extract some useful meanings from these data please?  As might be expected, when I try a DESeq on these data I get no significant p-values.

Thanks in advance,
Dave
