Hi, I have a question on differential expression analysis. I have 3 groups(A, B, C) and each group has 20 samples. I want to do differential expression analysis to get genes differently expressed in A, not in B and C. I would appreciate it if someone could give me some direction on this!

Best, AD

What is the method you intend to use (i.e. which package ?) If you intend to use DESeq2, please see the "Contrasts" part of the vignette : https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/vignettes/DESeq2/inst/doc/DESeq2.html

@basti, thank you for your answer. As far as I know, the contrast function in DESeq2 does compare between two groups (e.g A vs B, etc) but what I want to do is A vs B and C at the same time. So that I can get genes only expressed in A compared to B and C at time. I could use both packages as far as solving my problem.
Best, Amare
