Working with lfproQC package

To attach the package in R studio

library(lfproQC)

To find the best combination of normalization and imputation method for the dataset

yeast <- best_combination(yeast_data, yeast_groups, data_type = "Protein")

To visualize the normality by different exploratory plots

1. By boxplot

Boxplot_data(yeast$`rlr_knn_data`)

2. By density plot

Densityplot_data(yeast$`rlr_knn_data`)

3. By correlation heatmap

Corrplot_data(yeast$`rlr_knn_data`)

4. By MDS plot

MDSplot_data(yeast$`rlr_knn_data`)

5. By QQ-plot

QQplot_data(yeast$`rlr_knn_data`)

Differential expression analysis

To Calculate the top-table values

top_table_yeast <- top_table_fn(yeast$`rlr_knn_data`, yeast_groups, 2, 1)

To visualize the different kinds of differentially abundant proteins, such as up-regulated, down-regulated, significant and non-significant proteins

By MA plot

de_yeast_MA <- MAplot_DE_fn(top_table_yeast,-1,1,0.05)
de_yeast_MA$`MA Plot`

By volcano plot

de_yeast_volcano <- volcanoplot_DE_fn (top_table_yeast,-1,1,0.05)
de_yeast_volcano$`Volcano Plot`

Both of the above plots give same result.

To obtain the overall differentially abundant proteins result

de_yeast_MA$`Result `

To find the up-regulated proteins

de_yeast_MA$`Up-regulated`

To find the down-regulated proteins

de_yeast_MA$`Down-regulated`

To find the other significant proteins

de_yeast_MA$`Significant`

To find the non-significant proteins

de_yeast_MA$`Non-significant`
