Analysis of Variance: Evaluating Differential Protein Expression

Author:

Shaun Broderick, The Ohio State University

This tutorial uses a case study in petunia to demonstrate ANOVA in SAS using the “PROC GLM” and “PROC VARCOMP” commands. Sample SAS code is provided. Using information from the ANOVA table and variance components output, an objective cut-off value based on least significant differences (LSD) for differential protein expression can be obtained. The tutorial is provided in Slideshare and pdf formats.

Introduction

Protein expression data from petunia flowers at different stages of flower senescence was analyzed using the “PROC GLM” and “PROC VARCOMP” commands in SAS to obtain an ANOVA table and variance components table. These outputs were used to determine an objective cut-off value for differential protein expression based on least significant differences (LSD).
