The data for today’s mini-project comes from a knock-down study of an important HOX gene.
Import counts data and metadata:
countData <- read.csv("GSE37704_featurecounts.csv", row.names = 1)
colData <- read.csv("GSE37704_metadata.csv", row.names = 1)
Quick look at the imports:

Check if the countData columns and colData rows match:
colnames(countData) == rownames(colData)

Remove genes with no expression:

library(DESeq2)
Build the required DESeqDataSet object for DESeq analysis:
dds <- DESeqDataSetFromMatrix(countData = countData,
colData = colData,
design = ~condition)
Warning in DESeqDataSet(se, design = design, ignoreRank): some variables in
design formula are characters, converting to factors
Run DESeq on dds:
dds <- DESeq(dds)
estimating size factors
estimating dispersions
gene-wise dispersion estimates
mean-dispersion relationship
final dispersion estimates
fitting model and testing
Save results from running DESeq:
res <- results(dds)

library(ggplot2)
Create basic volcano plot of Log2 Fold Change vs -Log of Adjusted P-value in DESeq results:
ggplot(res) +
aes(x=log2FoldChange,
y=-log(padj)) +
geom_point()
Warning: Removed 1237 rows containing missing values or values outside the scale range
(`geom_point()`).

Improve the plot with color and lines to highlight significant changes.
my_cols <- rep("gray", nrow(res))
my_cols[abs(res$log2FoldChange) > 2 ] <- "blue"
my_cols[res$padj>=0.01] <- "gray"
ggplot(res) +
aes(x=log2FoldChange,
y=-log(padj)) +
geom_point(col=my_cols) +
geom_vline(xintercept = c(-2,+2), col="red") +
geom_hline(yintercept = -log(0.01), col="red") +
labs(x = "Log2(Fold Change)",
y = "-Log(Adjusted P-value)",
title = "Volcano plot of Log2(Fold Change) vs -Log(Adjusted P-value)")
Warning: Removed 1237 rows containing missing values or values outside the scale range
(`geom_point()`).

Save the results of DESeq analysis to a csv file:
write.csv(res, file="results.csv")

Add columns to res to save information on the SYMBOL, ENTREZ ID, and
gene names.
res$symbol = mapIds(org.Hs.eg.db,
