Bioinformatics Analysis of Differentially Expressed Gene's in Breast Cancer Using DESeq2

Abstract

Differential Gene Expression Analysis is a strong tool for determining if genes in two or more sample groups are expressed at significantly different levels. To estimate gene counts and identify deferentially expressed genes, we’ll utilize the DESeq2 software. Also, while determining whether genes are deferentially expressed, we must account for variation in the data. The purpose is to see if differences between groups are substantial for each gene, given the biological differences between biological replicates. Using Normalized to Read Count Data (NRCD) and statistical analysis, DEG analysis was used to find quantitative differences in expression levels between experimental groups. For example; statistical testing is used to decide whether for a given gene and observed difference in read counts is significant. I.e., whether it is greater than what would be expected just due to natural random variation. The analysis requires gene expression values to be compared between sample group types. The goal is to determine which genes are expressed at different levels between conditions. It has become a widely used technology that allows for effective genome-wide relative gene expression quantification, and it is the method of choice for identifying deferentially expressed genes between two or more biological situations of interest. The primary challenges surrounding such DE analysis have been highlighted from the start, and several methodologies and tools have been offered in the relevant literature. One of the most difficult aspects of this study, as with any other statistical research, has been determining the probabilistic model that best fits the data, as well as the model’s optimal parameter estimates. Another significant challenge was the requirement for data normalization in order to appropriately compare two biological situations by analyzing and removing any potential technological and/or biological biases. Last but not least, several research have emphasized the practical requirement to determine the ideal number of biological replicates per condition and the optimal library size. We’ll go over the use of DeSeq2 method as a utilized methodology and tools for DE analysis in this article. The gene outcomes can offer biological insights into processes affected by the conditions. greater than what would be expected just due to natural random variation.
