Deseq2 count matrix

Hi all

I have raw reads matrix for miRNAs expression and I want complete the differential expression analysis with DESeq2, how I can exclude reads with average reads below 1 (average reads of biological replicates) from count matrix before analysis with Deseq2 ?

Thanks

r rna-seq deseq2

You do not need to. DESeq2 has an internal data-driven function to exclude low counts. There are many questions/posts about this topic on Bioconductor, just google around a bit.

is it also exclude samples have zero counts ? I find this comment in bioconductor for NA p-value

"Note on p-values set to NA: some values in the results table can be set to NA for one of the following reasons:

If within a row, all samples have zero counts, the baseMean column will be zero, and the log2 fold change estimates, p value and adjusted p value will all be set to NA."
