Calculate the significance of the difference between two trends

BioStar — Tue, 14 Mar 2023 05:41:53 -0500

To calculate the significance of the difference between two trends, you can use a statistical test such as a t-test or ANOVA (analysis of variance). Here are the general steps to follow:

Define your null hypothesis (H0) and alternative hypothesis (H1). For example, H0 might be that there is no significant difference between the two trends, while H1 might be that there is a significant difference.
Collect data on the two trends. Make sure that the data is independent, normally distributed, and has equal variances.
Calculate the means and standard deviations of each trend.
Calculate the test statistic using a t-test or ANOVA. The test statistic will depend on the specific test you choose, but it will generally compare the difference in means between the two trends to the variability within each trend.
Determine the p-value associated with the test statistic. The p-value represents the probability of obtaining a test statistic as extreme as the one you calculated, assuming that the null hypothesis is true.
Compare the p-value to your chosen significance level (usually 0.05 or 0.01). If the p-value is less than or equal to the significance level, reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is a significant difference between the two trends. If the p-value is greater than the significance level, fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is not enough evidence to support a significant difference.

It's important to note that the specific details of each step will depend on the type of test you choose and the software you use to perform the analysis.

The most common methods for comparing means include:

Methods	R function	Description
T-test	t.test()	Compare two groups (parametric)
Wilcoxon test	wilcox.test()	Compare two groups (non-parametric)
ANOVA	aov() or anova()	Compare multiple groups (parametric)
Kruskal-Wallis	kruskal.test()	Compare multiple groups (non-parametric)

chromoMap-An R package for Interactive Visualization and Annotation of Chromosomes

Jit — Sat, 07 Sep 2019 10:45:31 -0500

chromoMap provides interactive, configurable and elegant graphics visualization of chromosomes or chromosomal regions allowing users to map chromosome elements (like genes,SNPs etc.) on the chromosome plot.Each chromosome is composed of loci(representing a specific range determined based on chromosome length) that, on hover, shows details about the annotations in that locus range. The plots can be saved as HTML documents that can be shared easily. In addition, you can include them in R Markdown or in R Shiny applications.

Some of the prominent features of the package are:

visualizing polyploidy simultaneously on the same plot.
annotating groups of elements as distinct colors.
creating chromosome heatmaps.
adjusting chromosome range or visualizing chromosome regions such as genes
adding labels to the plot
adding hyperlinks to each element

Web Apollo: a web-based genomic annotation editing platform

Jit — Fri, 28 Jul 2017 04:48:17 -0500

Web Apollo is the first instantaneous, collaborative genomic annotation editor available on the web. One of the natural consequences following from current advances in sequencing technology is that there are more and more researchers sequencing new genomes. These researchers require tools to describe the functional features of their newly sequenced genomes. With Web Apollo researchers can use any of the common browsers (for example, Chrome or Firefox) to jointly analyze and precisely describe the features of a genome in real time, whether they are in the same room or working from opposite sides of the world.
