See post for details on current enrichment results from MultiSpecies work part II.

Code and Result Files:

GitHub Repo: project-pycno-multispecies-2023

Code:

Current results are from taking the annotated DEG lists per species at Day 6, Day 12, and the interaction of day and treatment with the background being each species’ respective annotated gene matrix info. Orthogroups are currently not invovled in these results. This is just looking at each species alone.

These results are also currently just for Biological Processes (BP).

Interpretations

Basically… I haven’t looked into the processes yet. But my next steps are to confirm that these are true… double check my code and see what Steven thinks… then go into the literature.

I do need to also do enrichment or at least try with orthogroup stuff… but when I tried with DAVID there wasn’t any.

Multi-Species Next Step Thoughts:

  1. Try some stuff with enrichment and orthogroups
  2. Try making a PCA of gene expression that ties genes to shared orthogroups so the PCA can compare expression of all three species, both time points, and both treatments….? Is this possible? Orhtogroups are tricky because many genes can be part of one orthogroup.
