Dear List,
I am getting few errors while running edgeR and would like to know few things too as i am novice to edgeR and R. My errors and questions are as follows:
1. I am getting an error "could not find function plotBCV". As i am loading package edgeR and limma, I shouldn't be getting this error. So why i am getting this error?
2. plot smear also doesn't seem to work.
THIS LAST POINT IS MOST IMPORTANT TO ME.
3. For the "topTags" function in edgeR, I want to use my own set of p-values ranging from 0.001 upto 0.01 i.e. i want to do multiple testing. Secondly i want to use atleast two adjust methods namely "bonferroni" and "fdr" for my tests. As the p-value i will be giving to the program i also want to get the list of all those genes who pass that threshhold/ cut off value. Because when i choose n = 6449 (total no. of genes in my dataset). It displays everything but actually i want to get only significantly differentially expressed genes. If anybody of you can help me using the "topTags" function properly, i would be really thankful.
Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.
