Can anybody explain me why this volcano plot is not opening

The plot doesnt seem to look like any other. It is not in line either when I draw a scatter plot. Im new to this.. can anybody tell me why the data are not drawing the opening of the volcano by log2 at 0?

volcano

rna-seq software error rna-seq

I meant why is it not opening wide log2FC at 0 and is displayed towards 1?

Why is this an answer?

I was further introducing my problem with understanding this volcano plot as cant change or re write the post. Any ideas?

But why is it an answer? Does it answer the top level question?

Because I could not introduce changes to the post so I had to write a comment on the answer section to give further details of my top level question. Ive just came here to try to understand why this plot is displayed towards Log2FC 1 and is not above 0. Can you explain that? If you have other questions regarding the post my answer is; I dont know I just opened this website to ask a this question

Welcome to the Biostars community! I suggest you read the how to posts then, as participation in online scientific communities that are powered entirely by volunteers needs that proper etiquette be followed.

In this case, you should have edited your post and changed the content there, as all users are empowered to do. See this post detailing how to do that. At the very least, your answer should have been a comment, as detailed here.

For the moment, I'll move your answer to a comment. Please be more careful in the future.

How is the tag software error relevant to this post?

Hi Beginner ,

Welcome to Biostars. I have cleaned up this discussion and changed your post. You had put the explanation of your question as image description, and as such it was invisible to us. Note that you can at all times edit your own post and provide more information.

Could you elaborate on which steps were taken prior to generating this volcano plot?

looks like you've got a consistently higher signal in one set of samples than the other. How did you normalise the (microarray?) dataset?
