TLDR
The philosophy and design of the limma package is reviewed, summarizing both new and historical features, with an emphasis on recent enhancements and features that have not been previously described.Abstract:
limma is an R/Bioconductor software package that provides an integrated solution for analysing data from gene expression experiments. It contains rich features for handling complex experimental designs and for information borrowing to overcome the problem of small sample sizes. Over the past decade, limma has been a popular choice for gene discovery through differential expression analyses of microarray and high-throughput PCR data. The package contains particularly strong facilities for reading, normalizing and exploring such data. Recently, the capabilities of limma have been significantly expanded in two important directions. First, the package can now perform both differential expression and differential splicing analyses of RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data. All the downstream analysis tools previously restricted to microarray data are now available for RNA-seq as well. These capabilities allow users to analyse both RNA-seq and microarray data with very similar pipelines. Second, the package is now able to go past the traditional gene-wise expression analyses in a variety of ways, analysing expression profiles in terms of co-regulated sets of genes or in terms of higher-order expression signatures. This provides enhanced possibilities for biological interpretation of gene expression differences. This article reviews the philosophy and design of the limma package, summarizing both new and historical features, with an emphasis on recent enhancements and features that have not been previously described.read more

Prediction of genome-wide DNA methylation in repetitive elements.
TL;DR: A random forest-based algorithm that can accurately predict genome-wide locus-specific RE methylation based on Infinium array profiling data is reported, which has the potential to improve the understanding of the role of global methylation in human diseases, especially cancer.

TL;DR: A multi-omics analysis of pulmonary carcinoids reveals distinct molecular and prognostic subgroups, supporting the previously proposed molecular link between the low- and high-grade lung neuroendocrine neoplasms and confirming the value of OTP expression levels for the prognosis and diagnosis of these diseases.

TL;DR: This study shows that telomere shortening in livers of telomerase knockout mice leads to a p53-dependent repression of all seven sirtuins, and establishes sIRTuins as downstream targets of dysfunctional telomeres and suggests that increasing Sirt1 activity alone or in combination with other sirtUins stabilizes telomees and mitigates telomee-dependent disorders.

Controlling the false discovery rate: a practical and powerful approach to multiple testing
Yoav Benjamini,Yosef Hochberg +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a different approach to problems of multiple significance testing is presented, which calls for controlling the expected proportion of falsely rejected hypotheses -the false discovery rate, which is equivalent to the FWER when all hypotheses are true but is smaller otherwise.
