# tradis\_comparison(1)

bio-tradis: compares two experimental conditions using the method of Dembek et al.

## NAME

tradis\_comparison - bio-tradis: compares two experimental conditions using the method of Dembek et al.

## SYNOPSIS

**tradis\_comparison** \[*-h*\] \[*-f*\] \[*-t read cutoff*\] \[*-o outputfile.csv*\] \[*-p outputplot.pdf*\] *--controls controls.txt --conditions conditions.txt*

## DESCRIPTION

Compares two experimental conditions using the method of Dembek et al. mBio 2015. Read counts per gene are compared using edgeR. This analysis requires experimental replicates.

## OPTIONS

### Required Arguments:

- **--controls**

  control libraries, generally growth in a permissive condition

- **--conditions**

  libraries exposed to the experimental condition being compared

### Optional Arguments:

- **-o**

  output filename

- **-p**

  output filename for diagnostic plots

- **-f**

  enable filtering on minimum read counts

- **-t**

  if **--filter** is enabled, sets minimum read count necessary in one condition for a gene to be included in the comparison.
