What is PyDESeq2 used for?

PyDESeq2 is a Python-based implementation of the DESeq2 algorithm, used primarily for differential gene expression analysis in bulk RNA-seq data to identify genes that change significantly between experimental conditions.

How are p-values adjusted for multiple testing?

The skill follows standard DESeq2 protocols, applying the Benjamini-Hochberg (FDR) correction to raw p-values to minimize false discovery rates.

Can I handle batch effects with this skill?

Yes, the skill provides specific patterns for multi-factor designs (e.g., '~batch + condition') to account for and control technical variation or known covariates.

Do I need R installed to use this skill?

No, this skill utilizes the native Python implementation of DESeq2, allowing for a complete bioinformatics workflow within a Python environment without needing an R installation.

Does this skill include data visualization?

Absolutely. It includes code snippets and best practices for generating standard bioinformatics plots, such as Volcano plots and MA plots, to visualize results.

Performs differential gene expression analysis for bulk RNA-seq data using the Python implementation of DESeq2.

关于

This skill enables Claude to conduct comprehensive differential gene expression analysis directly in Python, mimicking the gold-standard DESeq2 workflow originally from R. It supports the entire bioinformatics pipeline, from raw count normalization and low-count filtering to statistical Wald tests, multi-factor designs for batch effect correction, and advanced log fold change (LFC) shrinkage with apeGLM. Designed for computational biologists and researchers, it provides structured guidance for identifying significant genes, generating publication-quality volcano and MA plots, and integrating RNA-seq results into broader Python-based data science workflows.
