What is the actual fold change from logfc to FC?
Jan 13, 2022 · Let's say that for gene expression the logFC of B relative to A is 2. If log2 (FC) = 2, the real increase of gene expression from A to B is 4 (2^2) ( FC = 4 ). In other words, A has gene …

Description
Generates log2 (foldchange) matrix/assay, eventually on a per-batch fashion.
Value
An object of same class as 'x'; if a 'SummarizedExperiment', will have the additional assay named from 'toAssay'.
What is Log2 in biology?
Log2 aids in calculating fold change, and measure the up-regulated vs down-regulated genes between samples. Usually, Log2 measured data more close to the biologically-detectable changes.
Why is fold change important in microarray?
Fold change is often used in analysis of gene expression data in micro array and RNA-Seq experiments, for measuring change in the expression level of a gene. [6] A disadvantage to and serious risk of using fold change in this setting is that it is biased [7] and may miss deferentially expressed genes with large differences (B-A) but small ratios (A/B), leading to a high miss rate at high intensities.
How to calculate fold change?
Fold change is calculated simply as the ratio of the difference between final value and the initial value over the original value. Thus, if the initial value is A and final value is B, the fold change is (B - A)/A or equivalently B/A - 1. As another example, a change from 80 to 20 would be a fold change of -0.75, while a change from 20 to 80 would be a fold change of 3 (a change of 3 to 4 times the original).
Can I use 3 reference genes for normalization?
Yes, I am using 3 reference genes for normalization (Validated).
Is RT-qPCR a drawback?
I am not sure how the answer of my previous colleague relates to the question asked, but one important issue to consider is the choice of an apropriate reference gene, or best if validated using a second reference gene. RT-qPCR certainly has its drawbacks, and may be replaced by newer technologies such as droplet digital PCR in the future, but in my opinion not as 'notorious' if planned carefully, as my colleague seems to make it. Technology has moved on since 1990.
Do you use log2 for all values?
Laura, you would still use log2 for all of the values . That way, a gene that is upregulated relative to the control will have a positive log2 fold change value, and a gene that is downregulated relative to the control will have a negative log2 fold change value. Cite.
Why is Log2 used?
Furthermore, because we tend to think of expression in terms of copies of genes, or rather copies of copies of copies, we think of it in terms of doubling which is why Log2 is frequently used to display the data - you show the not the quantity, but the rounds of amplification of it. to give better context between exponential differences in gene expression.

What is the logFC of a sample?
If a sample is expressed twice as much as the control (FC = 2), the logFC = 1 ; one doubling of the gene compared to baseline.
How to convert a logFC value?
In Excel, use the function "=2 x". To convert a FC value, take the log2. In Excel, use function: "=log (x,2). (where x = the cell with your data). Hope that helps!
What is fold change?
Fold change is the number of times a gene is over-expressed (or under), compared to some baseline (your control, or the reference gene, etc.). A sample could be 100X more expressed, or 1/100th the expression of the baseline. Because this is hard to show in a graph, we plot in log. It "flattens" the data out to make it more visible.
