Hello dear,
I am a beginner in exome-seq and have tried to get a threshold of p-value for significant mutations using QQ-plot. However, I couldn't because my QQ-plot looked very weird.
I couldn't figure it out whether it is a something wrong or not, and how I can explain or fix it.
can you help me with this?
Your question lacks any details on what exactly you did what what kind of p-value this is: Brief Reminder On How To Ask A Good Question
Are these the results of an association analysis? It seems that your p-values are inflated, which can arise due to different reasons, more commonly due to unaccounted populations structure. There is a lot of literature on interpreting GWAS results. Maybe start with this? https://www.nature.com/articles/nrg1916
I really appreciate your kind comment. I am going to start with it. Is there any good tutorials for basic exome seq?
I am sorry for lack of information. I have done my exome-sequencing in tumor tissue and adjacent normal tissues, and got the p-value from fisher exact test between normal and cancer on each variation. The QQ plot was depicted by qqman in R
