TLDR
This work presents DESeq2, a method for differential analysis of count data, using shrinkage estimation for dispersions and fold changes to improve stability and interpretability of estimates, which enables a more quantitative analysis focused on the strength rather than the mere presence of differential expression.
Abstract
In comparative high-throughput sequencing assays, a fundamental task is the analysis of count data, such as read counts per gene in RNA-seq, for evidence of systematic changes across experimental conditions. Small replicate numbers, discreteness, large dynamic range and the presence of outliers require a suitable statistical approach. We present DESeq2, a method for differential analysis of count data, using shrinkage estimation for dispersions and fold changes to improve stability and interpretability of estimates. This enables a more quantitative analysis focused on the strength rather than the mere presence of differential expression. The DESeq2 package is available at http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/DESeq2.html .

Systematic mapping of functional enhancer-promoter connections with CRISPR interference

TL;DR: A high-throughput approach that uses clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPRi) interference to discover regulatory elements and identify their target genes and can be applied to dissect transcriptional networks and interpret the contributions of noncoding genetic variation to human disease.

Impact of Genetic Polymorphisms on Human Immune Cell Gene Expression.

TL;DR: The DICE project identified cis-eQTLs for a total of 12,254 unique genes, which represent 61% of all protein-coding genes expressed in these cell types and found that biological sex is associated with major differences in immune cell gene expression in a highly cell-specific manner.

Derivation of Human Trophoblast Stem Cells

TL;DR: It is shown that activation of Wingless/Integrated and EGF and inhibition of TGF-β, histone deacetylase, and Rho-associated protein kinase enable long-term culture of human villous cytotrophoblast (CT) cells, which will provide a powerful tool to study human trophoblast development and function.

Controlling the false discovery rate: a practical and powerful approach to multiple testing

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.

edgeR: a Bioconductor package for differential expression analysis of digital gene expression data.

TL;DR: EdgeR as mentioned in this paper is a Bioconductor software package for examining differential expression of replicated count data, which uses an overdispersed Poisson model to account for both biological and technical variability and empirical Bayes methods are used to moderate the degree of overdispersion across transcripts, improving the reliability of inference.

Generalized Linear Models

TL;DR: In this paper, a generalization of the analysis of variance is given for these models using log- likelihoods, illustrated by examples relating to four distributions; the Normal, Binomial (probit analysis, etc.), Poisson (contingency tables), and gamma (variance components).

The Elements of Statistical Learning: Data Mining, Inference, and Prediction

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the important ideas in these areas in a common conceptual framework, and the emphasis is on concepts rather than mathematics, with a liberal use of color graphics.
