Hi everyone,
I recently had a patient with a very rare lymphoma type and was able to perform scRNA-Seq of a fresh lymph node biopsy. Is there a way to check for differential gene expression based on one single sample, as I do not have any further (non-lymphoma) material from this patient to compare with his lymphoma sample?
I am grateful for any input!
Thanks a lot & best wishes
Thanks for your reply! Can you by any chance recommend a tool/package for this type of analysis? With DESeq2 I find it rather difficult, as it seems to require two sets of values to compare in order to perform differential analysis (at least that's the error message I receive when I try to run it on a single column of gene expression counts)... Many thanks!
What are you using to analyze your scRNA-seq data? Seurat, scran, monocle3 all have differential testing capabilities. I'd recommend reading the Orchestrating Single Cell Analysis book, as it has a lot of good info.
