The basic method of creating a gene list from ANOVA results based on fold-change and p-value cut-offs is detail in . Advanced options enable the creation of lists based on more complex criteria. For example, we can use the Create Gene List function to identify transcripts that are both significantly differentially expressed AND alternatively-spliced among the four tissue samples.
- Select Create Gene List from the Analyze Known Genes panel of the RNA-Seq workflow to invoke the List Manager dialog
- Select the Advancedtab (Figure 1)

- In the Configure Criteria dialog box (Figure 2), provide a name for the list (Diff Exp)
- Select 1/transcripts (RNA-Seq_results.transcripts) from theSpreadsheet drop-down menu
- Select 8. p-value(DiffExp) from the Column drop-down menu
- Set Include p-values to significant with FDR with a value of 0.05
A list of 30,305 transcripts that pass this criteria will be generated according to the # pass score on the right-hand side of the dialog. If the settings are changed, this number will automatically update.
- Select OK
- Repeat the same steps to create a list of transcripts that are likely alternatively spliced, named Alt Splice, using the same p-value cutoff and Column set to 10. p-value (AltSplice) (Figure 3)
