DESeq2 Example in Python

This repository contains an example of using DESeq2 in Python for differential gene expression analysis.

Table of Contents

Introduction

DESeq2 is a widely used tool for differential gene expression (DGE) analysis in RNA-Seq data, and it is mainly implemented in R. However, you can use rpy2, a Python library that allows you to run R code. If you want to learn more about RNA-seq analysis, I highly recommend, visiting RNA-seqlopedia. This comprehensive resource provides valuable insights into RNA-seq, covering everything from basic concepts to advanced techniques. It's an excellent starting point for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of RNA-seq analysis.

Installation

To run the DESeq2 example in Python, Ensure you have installed R on your system, and install the required packages. Follow these steps:

  1. Install required packages:

    pip install -r requirements.txt

  2. Install DESeq2:

    # Open R and run the following command to install DESeq2
if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))
    install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("DESeq2")

Usage

To run the DESeq2 analysis, follow these steps:

  1. Prepare your count data: Ensure your count data is in a CSV file format. An example file is provided in the repository.

  2. Run the DESeq2 script:

    python run_deseq2.py

  3. Analyze the results: The results will be saved in your provided path or directory. You can use the provided analyze_results.py script to generate plots and interpret results.

    python analyze_results.py
