RNA-seq experiments allow for the identification of differentially expressed (DE) genes and their corresponding isoforms on a genome-wide scale. However, statistical methods are required to ensure that accurate identifications are made. A number of methods exist for identifying DE genes, but far fewer are available for identifying DE isoforms. When isoform DE is of interest, investigators often apply gene-level (count-based) methods directly to estimates of isoform counts. Doing so is not recommended. In short, estimating isoform expression is relatively straightforward for some groups of isoforms, but more challenging for others. This results in estimation uncertainty that varies across isoform groups. Count-based methods were not designed to accommodate this varying uncertainty, and consequently, application of them for isoform inference results in reduced power for some classes of isoforms and increased false discoveries for others.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Results: Taking advantage of the merits of empirical Bayesian methods, we have developed EBSeq for identifying DE isoforms in an RNA-seq experiment comparing two or more biological conditions. Results demonstrate substantially improved power and performance of EBSeq for identifying DE isoforms. EBSeq also proves to be a robust approach for identifying DE genes.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Availability and implementation: An R package containing examples and sample datasets is available at http:\/\/www.biostat.wisc.edu\/\u223ckendzior\/EBSEQ\/.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Contact: \u00a0kendzior@biostat.wisc.edu<\/jats:p><jats:p>Supplementary information: \u00a0Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btt087","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,2,22]],"date-time":"2013-02-22T01:50:54Z","timestamp":1361497854000},"page":"1035-1043","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1105,"title":["EBSeq: an empirical Bayes hierarchical model for inference in RNA-seq experiments"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Ning","family":"Leng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Statistics, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706, 2Morgridge Institute for Research, Madison, WI 53707, 3McArdle Laboratory for Cancer Research, Department of Oncology and 4Department of Biostatistics and Medical Informatics, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John A.","family":"Dawson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Statistics, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706, 2Morgridge Institute for Research, Madison, WI 53707, 3McArdle Laboratory for Cancer Research, Department of Oncology and 4Department of Biostatistics and Medical Informatics, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James A.","family":"Thomson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Statistics, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706, 2Morgridge Institute for Research, Madison, WI 53707, 3McArdle Laboratory for Cancer Research, Department of Oncology and 4Department of Biostatistics and Medical Informatics, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Victor","family":"Ruotti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Statistics, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706, 2Morgridge Institute for Research, Madison, WI 53707, 3McArdle Laboratory for Cancer Research, Department of Oncology and 4Department of Biostatistics and Medical Informatics, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anna I.","family":"Rissman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Statistics, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706, 2Morgridge Institute for Research, Madison, WI 53707, 3McArdle Laboratory for Cancer Research, Department of Oncology and 4Department of Biostatistics and Medical Informatics, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bart M.
