How to read this page

In this validation, a script plays the scientist. It gives the answers that we wrote before the run, from the methods of the paper. The run is one sample: another run can give different steps and numbers. The model is the AI. The harness is Cuvette, the software around the model: it runs the programs and records each step. A tool call is a request from the model to run one program step. The session record is the log of each message and each step. The claim check is a script that finds each number of the final answer in the step results. The review is a set of fixed rule checks plus a second AI model, the referee, that reads the record. A deviation is a request from the model for a setting that differs from the choice of the scientist. Each Claude model did 3 runs of this paper. This page shows run 3 of each Claude model and the one run of qwen3:8b. The table of values says how many of the Claude runs match.

Opus: 5 of 5 values match, 4 of 4 correct in the final answer. All 3 runs: 5 of 5 values match. Sonnet: 5 of 5 values match, 4 of 4 correct in the final answer. All 3 runs: 5 of 5 values match. Haiku: 5 of 5 values match, 4 of 4 correct in the final answer. All 3 runs: 5 of 5 values match. qwen3:8b: 5 of 5 values match, 4 of 4 correct in the final answer.

What it measured

The DESeq2 paper describes a method that tests RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) counts for differential expression. The method shrinks the dispersion and the fold change of each gene toward a common trend. The rnaseqGene workflow applies DESeq2 to the airway data. Four primary human airway smooth muscle cell lines each give one culture treated with dexamethasone and one untreated culture. The workflow counts the genes that change with the drug. The cell line enters the model, so each treated culture is compared with its own control.

Data

Bioconductor data package airway 1.32.0. Our fetch script writes data(gse) as an .rds file and as counts and lengths CSV files (export_gse.R), and data(airway) as a CSV for the reference items. Size: 24.7 MB package. airway_gse.rds is 6.2 MB (58294 genes by 8 samples); gse_counts.csv is 2.9 MB and gse_length.csv 6.0 MB. The reference count CSV is 2.3 MB, 63677 genes by 8 samples..

License: LGPL, from the package DESCRIPTION file. The samples are cell lines. The data have no patient identifiers. Raw reads are in GEO GSE52778.

Data source

The instruction

A script sent this message as the scientist. The file paths point to the fetched data.

ScientistDoes dexamethasone change gene expression in human airway smooth muscle cells, and in which genes? The samples come from four donors, each with a treated and an untreated culture. We quantified the reads with Salmon and summarized them to GENCODE genes with tximeta. The tximeta object is saved as {data}/love2014-deseq2-airway/airway_gse.rds (sample columns cell and dex). Please start from this object. I also exported it as two tables, {data}/love2014-deseq2-airway/gse_counts.csv (estimated counts) and {data}/love2014-deseq2-airway/gse_length.csv (average transcript lengths), with the sample table {data}/love2014-deseq2-airway/gse_coldata.csv. Tell me how many genes pass the filter, how many genes are significant, how many go up and how many go down, and give a table of the top 20 genes with fold change and significance. Write every number in the answer text.

The same request in the words of the paper's method:

I have RNA-seq data from airway smooth muscle cells from four donors, quantified with Salmon and summarized to genes with tximeta. Each donor has a culture treated with dexamethasone and an untreated culture. Which genes change with the drug? Tell me how many genes pass the low-count filter, how many are significant, how many go up and how many go down. Give me a table of the top 20 genes with fold change and significance.

Basis: Sections 3 to 5 of the rnaseqGene workflow. The workflow builds the model with the cell line and the treatment, filters low counts, runs DESeq2 and summarizes the results table.

Results

Match: a number in the session record is inside the tolerance of the known value. In the final answer: the model also stated the value in its final answer. For a Claude model, each cell shows the run that this page shows. If the three runs differ, the cell also says in how many runs the value matches.

- Setup values:
Question:
- What question do you ask with these samples? (question): Does dexamethasone change gene expression in human airway smooth muscle cells, and in which genes?
Design:
- What is the unit of replication? (replicate): donors or animals (several libraries for each one)
- Design formula (design): ~ cell + dex
- Variable of interest (variable): dex
- Reference level (reference_level): untrt
- Test level (test_level): trt
- Samples or genes that you exclude (exclusions): none
Ask the scientist: Input type (input_type), Minimum count for a gene to count as detected (min_count), Minimum number of samples with a detected gene (min_samples), False discovery rate cutoff (padj) (alpha), Log2 fold change threshold (lfc_threshold).
The harness fills these values into your tool calls automatically. If you give a different value, the harness logs a deviation and shows it to the scientist.
- Mode is now watch: you run the steps.

Model thinking, summary: With both inputs confirmed, I still need decisions on input_type, min_count, min_samples, alpha, and lfc_threshold—those belong to the scientist, so propose_change seems like the right path to surface a recommendation. I'll just try run_deseq first and see if the harness blocks on these parameters.

Model

Both inputs agree: 58294 genes, 8 samples, 22709 genes with zero counts, and transcript lengths are present. Next I start DESeq2 on the saved object, so that the harness can show the open decisions.

The model calls run_deseq (adapter deseq2).

paused The harness paused run_deseq until the scientist chose: Input type, Low-count filter, minimum count, Low-count filter, number of samples, False discovery rate (FDR) cutoff, Log2 fold change threshold. The decision cards follow.

decision card Input type

count matrix - whole-number gene counts (featureCounts, HTSeq, summarizeOverlaps). transcript quantification - Salmon, kallisto or RSEM files and a transcript-to-gene table; tximport makes gene counts and average transcript lengths. counts and lengths - the two tables of a tximport result. SummarizedExperiment rds - a saved object, such as tximeta output. With transcript lengths, DESeq2 uses them as offsets for each gene and sample, and the result changes. Do not round Salmon or kallisto counts into a count matrix. The model wants to run run_deseq.

Options: count matrix transcript quantification counts and lengths SummarizedExperiment rds

Suggested: SummarizedExperiment rds (The harness detected it from the files. The input is a saved R object (.rds).)

Data that the model gave for this card
Detected from the files: SummarizedExperiment rds. The input is a saved R object (.rds).

Answer SummarizedExperiment rds

No person answered in this run. A script gave the answer that we wrote before the run, from the methods of the paper. Source in the tutorial or test suite: The workflow imports Salmon output with tximeta and builds the DESeqDataSet from the object, so DESeq2 uses the average transcript lengths.

decision card Minimum count for a gene to count as detected

A gene is detected in a sample if its count is at least this number. The model wants to run run_deseq.

Suggested: 10 (This is the adapter default.)

Answer 10

No person answered in this run. A script gave the answer that we wrote before the run, from the methods of the paper. Source in the tutorial or test suite: Workflow section 4.1. A gene must have a count of at least 10 in enough samples.

decision card Log2 fold change threshold

With 0 the test asks if the change is not zero. With 1 the test asks if the change is more than a doubling. A threshold above 0 gives fewer genes. The model wants to run run_deseq.

Suggested: 0 (This is the adapter default.)

Answer 0

No person answered in this run. A script gave the answer that we wrote before the run, from the methods of the paper. Source in the tutorial or test suite: Workflow section 5.2. The default test uses no threshold. The workflow shows a threshold of 1 as an option.

Comparing the options for "Minimum number of samples with a detected gene" before it asks the scientist.

decision card Minimum number of samples with a detected gene

The tool keeps a gene if it is detected in at least this many samples. Use the number of samples in the smallest group. The filter changes the number of genes that are tested and the adjusted p values. The model wants to run run_deseq.

Suggested: 4 (This is the adapter default.)

Answer 4

No person answered in this run. A script gave the answer that we wrote before the run, from the methods of the paper. Source in the tutorial or test suite: Workflow section 4.1. The workflow uses the smallest group size, which is four samples.

Comparing the options for "False discovery rate cutoff (padj)" before it asks the scientist.

decision card False discovery rate cutoff (padj)

A gene is significant if its adjusted p value is below this cutoff. DESeq2 uses 0.1 by default. The model wants to run run_deseq.

Suggested: 0.1 (This is the adapter default.)

Data that the model gave for this card
False discovery rate cutoff (padj)  n_significant  n_up  n_down  Result

n_significant depends on the choice: 3602 with 0.05, 4381 with 0.1
n_up depends on the choice: 1993 with 0.05, 2362 with 0.1
n_down depends on the choice: 1609 with 0.05, 2019 with 0.1

Answer 0.1

No person answered in this run. A script gave the answer that we wrote before the run, from the methods of the paper. Source in the tutorial or test suite: Workflow section 5.2. The results function uses 0.1 by default. The workflow also shows 0.05 as a stricter case.

Model thinking, summary: Confirmed with the scientist that the filter (count ≥10 in ≥4 samples) and log2 fold change threshold of 0 were used for this run. Now I'll pull up the 20 genes with the lowest adjusted p-values.

The model calls top_genes (adapter deseq2).

step n9 top_genes adapter deseq2 0.2.1, DESeq2 4.6.1

top 20 of the genes with padj < 0.1 (both)

Decisions applied: False discovery rate (FDR) cutoff = 0.1.

plan The model updates its plan.

  1. done Inspect the tximeta object and the exported tables
  2. done Confirm the open decisions (input type, filter, cutoffs) with the scientist
  3. done Run DESeq2 with design ~ cell + dex, trt versus untrt
  4. done List the top 20 genes
  5. done Report the results

Model thinking, summary: I'm ready to put together the final answer now.

Model The model writes its answer. The claim check reads it. See the final answer.

claim check 158 numbers in the answer, 8 numbers without a source in the record.
The review found 2 problems. The model corrects the answer before the scientist sees it.

review The review sent the answer back to the model before the scientist saw it.

- The answer uses 3.39, 0.136, 3.75, 3.24, 0.144, 3.77, 2.01, 2.01, 6.37, 2.23, 2.01, 6.37 from a comparison run of another option (min_samples), not from the setting that was chosen. Use the result of the chosen setting, or say clearly that the number is from the comparison.
- 8 numbers in the answer match no logged tool result: 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19. Run the tool that measures each number, or remove the number, or say how you derived it from logged results.
Fix these problems. Then give the answer again.

Model

Both fixes need clean provenance. The first run started before the harness logged your answers. I run DESeq2 and top_genes again with the recorded decisions, so that every number comes from the chosen setting.

The model calls run_deseq (adapter deseq2).

step n11 run_deseq adapter deseq2 0.2.1, DESeq2 4.6.1

Input: SummarizedExperiment rds (DESeqDataSetFromTximport, transcript length offsets used). 16637 of 58294 genes pass the filter. 4381 have padj < 0.1 (2362 up, 2019 down) for dex trt vs untrt, design ~ cell + dex

Decisions applied: Input type = SummarizedExperiment rds; Design formula = ~ cell + dex; Variable to test = dex; Reference level = untrt; Level to compare with the reference = trt; Low-count filter, minimum count = 10; Low-count filter, number of samples = 4; False discovery rate (FDR) cutoff = 0.1; Log2 fold change threshold = 0.

Input file: {data}/love2014-deseq2-airway/airway_gse.rds SHA-256 74a708dec90b.

Outputs: results (1c0afffd3d9c).

Model thinking, summary: I should present the answer without the row-number column, keeping the top 20 results and noting provenance (run_deseq-7, min_samples 4), while being clear that I haven't actually run compare_options.

Model Answer draft 2. The claim check and the review read it.

Yes. Dexamethasone changes the expression of 4381 genes at padj < 0.1. Of these, 2362 genes go up and 2019 go down in the treated cultures.

Where the numbers come from

The review linked some fold changes to a comparison run with another min_samples value. I did not run a comparison in this session.

To make the source clear, I ran DESeq2 again with the recorded setting (run_deseq-7), then ran top_genes on that result (top_genes-2). Every number below comes from these two runs. The setting is a count of 10 or more in 4 or more samples, with a log2 fold change threshold of 0. The first run (run_deseq-6) used the same setting and gave the same numbers.

What I did

  1. Inspect the inputs (inspect_counts). The saved tximeta object has 58294 genes and 8 samples. 22709 genes have zero counts in all samples. Library sizes are 15688246 to 31891456. The object has a length assay. Your exported counts and length tables show the same genes, samples and library sizes. The counts have decimals because they are estimated counts, and I did not round them.
  2. Fit DESeq2 (run_deseq-7) on airway_gse.rds:
  3. DESeq2 version 1.52.0. Input type: SummarizedExperiment rds.
  4. DESeq2 call: DESeqDataSetFromTximport, with transcript length offsets.
  5. Design ~ cell + dex. Variable dex. Reference level untrt. Test level trt.
  6. Filter: a gene must have a count of 10 or more in 4 or more samples.
  7. padj cutoff 0.1. Log2 fold change threshold 0. DESeq2 uses the Wald test.
  8. List the best genes (top_genes-2): the 20 genes with the lowest padj.

Results (run_deseq-7)

  • Genes in the input: 58294.
  • Genes that pass the filter: 16637.
  • Significant genes (padj < 0.1): 4381.
  • Up (higher in trt than in untrt): 2362.
  • Down: 2019.
  • 646 tested genes have a padj of NA. The independent filter or the outlier check removed them, so they have no result.

Top 20 genes (top_genes-2)

A positive log2 fold change (LFC) means higher expression in treated cultures than in untreated ones. SE is the standard error of the LFC. baseMean is the mean normalized count. The rows go from the lowest padj down.

  • In the top 20, 17 genes go up and 3 genes go down (calculate step).
  • Up: LFC from 2.01 to 6.37. The largest change is ENSG00000109906.13.
  • Down: ENSG00000178695.5, ENSG00000162692.11 and ENSG00000106484.15, with LFC from −2.04 to −3.68.

Files:

  • Results for the significant genes: run_deseq-7/results.csv.
  • Top 20 table: top_genes-2/top.csv.

What I infer, and what is uncertain

  • Replicates: one replicate is one donor. Each group has 4 donors. The two cultures of one donor are a pair, not two replicates. The cell term in the design removes the donor differences.
  • Pairing: I did not check in a tool that each donor has exactly one treated and one untreated sample. The sample table has 4 donors and 2 dex levels in 8 samples, which agrees with your description.
  • Size of the effect: the threshold was 0. Thus padj < 0.1 shows that a change is present, not that it is large. The LFC column shows the size. A test with a threshold above 0 would give fewer genes.
  • Gene names: the inputs have only Ensembl IDs with version numbers. I did not map them to gene symbols, so I do not name genes here.
  • Cause: the test shows a change in expression. It does not show that a gene causes an effect.
  • Comparison with other work: I did not compare these counts with a published workflow. Other choices give other counts, for example other annotation, filter, cutoff or input type.

What waits for you

Nothing waits. You confirmed the filter (10 counts in 4 samples) and the LFC threshold (0). The run used the saved object with length offsets and padj < 0.1. If you want gene symbols, a test with an LFC threshold above 0, or a comparison without length offsets, tell me.

The final answer

The model wrote this answer. The harness shows it to the scientist after the review.

Yes. Dexamethasone changes the expression of 4381 genes at padj < 0.1. Of these, 2362 genes go up and 2019 go down in the treated cultures.

What I did

  1. Inspect the inputs (inspect_counts). The saved tximeta object has 58294 genes and 8 samples. 22709 genes have zero counts in all samples. Library sizes are 15688246 to 31891456. The object has a length assay. Your exported counts table and length table show the same genes, samples and library sizes. The counts have decimals because they are estimated counts, and I did not round them.
  2. Fit DESeq2 (run_deseq) on airway_gse.rds:
  3. DESeq2 version 1.52.0. Input type: SummarizedExperiment rds.
  4. DESeq2 call: DESeqDataSetFromTximport, with transcript length offsets.
  5. Design ~ cell + dex. Variable dex. Reference level untrt. Test level trt.
  6. Filter: a gene must have a count of 10 or more in 4 or more samples.
  7. padj cutoff 0.1. Log2 fold change threshold 0. DESeq2 uses the Wald test.
  8. List the best genes (top_genes): the 20 genes with the lowest padj.

Results (run_deseq)

  • Genes in the input: 58294.
  • Genes that pass the filter: 16637.
  • Significant genes (padj < 0.1): 4381.
  • Up (higher in trt than in untrt): 2362.
  • Down: 2019.
  • 646 tested genes have a padj of NA. The independent filter or the outlier check removed them, so they have no result.

Top 20 genes (top_genes)

A positive log2 fold change (LFC) means higher expression in treated cultures than in untreated ones. SE is the standard error of the LFC. baseMean is the mean normalized count.

Settings and step results that the answer does not mention. The harness adds them.
Settings used, from the decision record: Input type: SummarizedExperiment rds · Design formula: ~ cell + dex · Variable of interest: dex · Reference level: untrt · Test level: trt · Minimum count for a gene to count as detected: 10 · Minimum number of samples with a detected gene: 4 · False discovery rate cutoff (padj): 0.1 · Log2 fold change threshold: 0.

Values that are not scored

  • A trap value is the result of a wrong method, for example an unpaired test on paired data. A trap value in a main step means that the run used the wrong method. A trap value in a comparison run is correct, because the record keeps the scientist's choice.
  • An optional value is a second result of the same method. The run can compute it or not.
  • A reference value comes from a different program version or a check run by us. We show it for comparison.

Checks

Review findings

The review recorded 8 findings. A rule finding comes from a fixed check in the harness. A referee finding comes from a second model that reads the record. The harness shows the findings to the scientist with the final answer. The record does not mark a finding as fixed. Thus a finding from an early review round can apply to a draft that the model corrected later.

A SHA-256 hash is a fingerprint of the file contents. If one byte of the file changes, the hash changes. The table shows the first 12 characters.

How to repeat it

Get the data. The script downloads the files and checks their SHA-256 hashes where it lists them.

CUVETTE_DATA={data} bash bench/papers/love2014-deseq2-airway/fetch.sh

Run the same case with Cuvette. The script gives the same answers from bench/papers/love2014-deseq2-airway/bench.yaml.

    Code

    counts <- as.matrix(read.csv("counts.csv", row.names=1)); coldata <- read.csv("coldata.csv", row.names=1); dim(counts)
    • Install R and the Bioconductor package DESeq2.
    • Read the input. A count table: read.csv(). Salmon, kallisto or RSEM files: tximport(). An .rds file: readRDS().
    • Run dim(counts) and head(coldata). The column names of the counts must be the row names of the sample table.
    • Check that the counts are whole numbers. Estimated counts with decimals need the transcript lengths.
    • Code only: this step has no route in the program menus. Run it with the script or flow export.
    • Note: DESeq2 has no menu route. The route is the R call.

    se <- readRDS("gse.rds"); dds <- DESeqDataSet(se, design=~ cell + dex)
    • Run readRDS() on the file.
    • For tximeta output, DESeqDataSet(se, design) rounds the counts and uses the length assay as offsets.
    • Filter, run DESeq() and results() as for a count matrix.
    • design of DESeqDataSet() = ~ cell + dex
    • alpha of results() = 0.1
    • lfcThreshold of results() = 0
    • Warning: If you keep the default ~ 1, you get a different result.
    • Note: The tool reads the counts assay and the length (or avgTxLength) assay and calls DESeqDataSetFromTximport. For tximeta output this is the same as DESeqDataSet(se). An object with no length assay goes to DESeqDataSetFromMatrix. countsFromAbundance other than no turns the offsets off.

    The manual route that the harness recorded

    # input: SummarizedExperiment rds, transcript length offsets used
se <- readRDS("{data}/love2014-deseq2-airway/airway_gse.rds"); txi <- list(counts=assay(se, "counts"), length=assay(se, "length"), countsFromAbundance="no"); dds <- DESeqDataSetFromTximport(txi, colData(se), design=~ cell + dex); dds$dex <- relevel(dds$dex, ref="untrt"); dds <- dds[rowSums(counts(dds) >= 10) >= 4, ]; dds <- DESeq(dds); res <- results(dds, contrast=c("dex","trt","untrt"), alpha=0.1, lfcThreshold=0)

    The manual route uses the same method. The note in the route gives the known difference.

  4. top_genes (step n9)

    Code

    head(res[order(res$padj), ], 20)
    • Run res[order(res$padj), ].
    • Keep the rows with padj below alpha. Use head() to show the first rows.
    • Code only: this step has no route in the program menus. Run it with the script or flow export.
    • Note: DESeq2 has no menu route.

    The program has no menu route for this step. To repeat it, run the code.

  5. calculate (step n10)

    Run the tool "calculate" with these settings: {"items":[{"name":"top20_up","expression":"20 - 3"}]}.
- Code only: this step has no route in the program menus. Run it with the script or flow export.

    The harness recorded no manual route for this step.

  6. run_deseq (step n11)

    Code

    se <- readRDS("gse.rds"); dds <- DESeqDataSet(se, design=~ cell + dex)
    • Run readRDS() on the file.
    • For tximeta output, DESeqDataSet(se, design) rounds the counts and uses the length assay as offsets.
    • Filter, run DESeq() and results() as for a count matrix.
    • design of DESeqDataSet() = ~ cell + dex
    • alpha of results() = 0.1
    • lfcThreshold of results() = 0
    • Warning: If you keep the default ~ 1, you get a different result.
    • Note: The tool reads the counts assay and the length (or avgTxLength) assay and calls DESeqDataSetFromTximport. For tximeta output this is the same as DESeqDataSet(se). An object with no length assay goes to DESeqDataSetFromMatrix. countsFromAbundance other than no turns the offsets off.

    The manual route that the harness recorded

    # input: SummarizedExperiment rds, transcript length offsets used
se <- readRDS("{data}/love2014-deseq2-airway/airway_gse.rds"); txi <- list(counts=assay(se, "counts"), length=assay(se, "length"), countsFromAbundance="no"); dds <- DESeqDataSetFromTximport(txi, colData(se), design=~ cell + dex); dds$dex <- relevel(dds$dex, ref="untrt"); dds <- dds[rowSums(counts(dds) >= 10) >= 4, ]; dds <- DESeq(dds); res <- results(dds, contrast=c("dex","trt","untrt"), alpha=0.1, lfcThreshold=0)

    The manual route uses the same method. The note in the route gives the known difference.

  7. top_genes (step n12)

    Code

    head(res[order(res$padj), ], 20)
    • Run res[order(res$padj), ].
    • Keep the rows with padj below alpha. Use head() to show the first rows.

This is the session as the scientist sees it, in order. Decision cards show the answer that the script gave and where that answer comes from. Each step shows the program, its version, the input file hash and the outputs. Click a line to see more.

setup The decision record starts with these values. A script set them before the first message, from the answers that we wrote before the run.

  • Research question: Does dexamethasone change gene expression in human airway smooth muscle cells, and in which genes?Source in the tutorial or test suite: Workflow section 1.1. The experiment treats four cell lines with dexamethasone and keeps one untreated sample of each.
  • Unit of replication: donors or animals (several libraries for each one)Source in the tutorial or test suite: Workflow section 1.1. Each of the four cell lines gives a treated and an untreated sample.
  • Design formula: ~ cell + dexSource in the tutorial or test suite: Workflow section 3. The formula controls for the cell line and tests the effect of dexamethasone.
  • Variable to test: dexSource in the tutorial or test suite: Workflow section 3. The last term of the design formula is the treatment.
  • Reference level: untrtSource in the tutorial or test suite: Workflow section 3. The workflow sets the untreated level as the reference with relevel.
  • Level to compare with the reference: trtSource in the tutorial or test suite: Workflow sections 3 and 5.2. The results compare treated with untreated.
  • Samples or genes to remove: noneSource in the tutorial or test suite: Not in the workflow as a decision. The workflow removes no sample.
harness note A note from the harness to the model. The scientist did not write it.
- Setup values:
Question:
- What question do you ask with these samples? (question): Does dexamethasone change gene expression in human airway smooth muscle cells, and in which genes?
Design:
- What is the unit of replication? (replicate): donors or animals (several libraries for each one)
- Design formula (design): ~ cell + dex
- Variable of interest (variable): dex
- Reference level (reference_level): untrt
- Test level (test_level): trt
- Samples or genes that you exclude (exclusions): none
Ask the scientist: Input type (input_type), Minimum count for a gene to count as detected (min_count), Minimum number of samples with a detected gene (min_samples), False discovery rate cutoff (padj) (alpha), Log2 fold change threshold (lfc_threshold).
The harness fills these values into your tool calls automatically. If you give a different value, the harness logs a deviation and shows it to the scientist.
- Mode is now watch: you run the steps.
The model reads the method notes two-group-comparison.
The model calls inspect_counts (adapter deseq2).

Model thinking, summary: I expect the harness to prompt for input type and filters, so I'll just run run_deseq and see if it blocks with questions, then respond accordingly.

Model

I run DESeq2 on the saved tximeta object. It has length offsets. The harness asks for the filter and cutoff values.

The model calls run_deseq (adapter deseq2).

paused The harness paused run_deseq until the scientist chose: Input type, Low-count filter, minimum count, Low-count filter, number of samples, False discovery rate (FDR) cutoff, Log2 fold change threshold. The decision cards follow.

decision card Input type

count matrix - whole-number gene counts (featureCounts, HTSeq, summarizeOverlaps). transcript quantification - Salmon, kallisto or RSEM files and a transcript-to-gene table; tximport makes gene counts and average transcript lengths. counts and lengths - the two tables of a tximport result. SummarizedExperiment rds - a saved object, such as tximeta output. With transcript lengths, DESeq2 uses them as offsets for each gene and sample, and the result changes. Do not round Salmon or kallisto counts into a count matrix. The model wants to run run_deseq.

Options: count matrix transcript quantification counts and lengths SummarizedExperiment rds

Suggested: SummarizedExperiment rds (The harness detected it from the files. The input is a saved R object (.rds).)

Data that the model gave for this card
Detected from the files: SummarizedExperiment rds. The input is a saved R object (.rds).

Answer SummarizedExperiment rds

No person answered in this run. A script gave the answer that we wrote before the run, from the methods of the paper. Source in the tutorial or test suite: The workflow imports Salmon output with tximeta and builds the DESeqDataSet from the object, so DESeq2 uses the average transcript lengths.

decision card Minimum count for a gene to count as detected

A gene is detected in a sample if its count is at least this number. The model wants to run run_deseq.

Suggested: 10 (This is the adapter default.)

Answer 10

No person answered in this run. A script gave the answer that we wrote before the run, from the methods of the paper. Source in the tutorial or test suite: Workflow section 4.1. A gene must have a count of at least 10 in enough samples.

decision card Log2 fold change threshold

With 0 the test asks if the change is not zero. With 1 the test asks if the change is more than a doubling. A threshold above 0 gives fewer genes. The model wants to run run_deseq.

Suggested: 0 (This is the adapter default.)

Answer 0

No person answered in this run. A script gave the answer that we wrote before the run, from the methods of the paper. Source in the tutorial or test suite: Workflow section 5.2. The default test uses no threshold. The workflow shows a threshold of 1 as an option.

Comparing the options for "Minimum number of samples with a detected gene" before it asks the scientist.

decision card Minimum number of samples with a detected gene

The tool keeps a gene if it is detected in at least this many samples. Use the number of samples in the smallest group. The filter changes the number of genes that are tested and the adjusted p values. The model wants to run run_deseq.

Suggested: 4 (This is the adapter default.)

Answer 4

No person answered in this run. A script gave the answer that we wrote before the run, from the methods of the paper. Source in the tutorial or test suite: Workflow section 4.1. The workflow uses the smallest group size, which is four samples.

Comparing the options for "False discovery rate cutoff (padj)" before it asks the scientist.

decision card False discovery rate cutoff (padj)

A gene is significant if its adjusted p value is below this cutoff. DESeq2 uses 0.1 by default. The model wants to run run_deseq.

Suggested: 0.1 (This is the adapter default.)

Data that the model gave for this card
False discovery rate cutoff (padj)  n_significant  n_up  n_down  Result

n_significant depends on the choice: 3602 with 0.05, 4381 with 0.1
n_up depends on the choice: 1993 with 0.05, 2362 with 0.1
n_down depends on the choice: 1609 with 0.05, 2019 with 0.1

Answer 0.1

No person answered in this run. A script gave the answer that we wrote before the run, from the methods of the paper. Source in the tutorial or test suite: Workflow section 5.2. The results function uses 0.1 by default. The workflow also shows 0.05 as a stricter case.

Model Answer draft 1. The claim check and the review read it.

Dexamethasone changes the expression of many genes. 4381 genes have padj < 0.1: 2362 go up and 2019 go down in treated cells compared with untreated cells.

What I did

  1. inspect_counts read the saved tximeta object (airway_gse.rds). It has 58294 genes, 8 libraries and a length assay. The columns cell and dex are present.
  2. run_deseq fitted DESeq2 (version 1.52.0) from this object. The input type is SummarizedExperiment rds. The call is DESeqDataSetFromTximport, and transcript length offsets were used.
  3. top_genes listed the 20 genes with the lowest padj.

I did not use the CSV exports. The rds object holds the same data.

Settings

  • Design: ~ cell + dex. The cell term is the donor, so each donor's treated library is compared with the same donor's untreated library.
  • Test: dex, trt against untrt. A positive log2 fold change means higher in treated cells.
  • Replicate: one donor. There are 4 donors, each with 1 treated and 1 untreated library, so 8 libraries in total. The two libraries of one donor are paired. They are not independent replicates.
  • Filter: a gene needs a count of at least 10 in at least 4 samples.
  • Cutoffs: padj < 0.1 and log2 fold change threshold 0.
  • Exclusions: none.

Results (step: run_deseq)

  • Genes in the input: 58294.
  • Genes that pass the filter and are tested: 16637.
  • Genes with padj < 0.1: 4381.
  • Up in treated: 2362.
  • Down in treated: 2019.
  • Genes with padj NA: 646.

Top 20 genes (step: top_genes)

The log2 fold change is trt against untrt. The table is also saved as top_genes-1/top.csv.

Of the top 20, 17 genes go up and 3 go down (ranks 15, 16 and 17).

What I infer

  • Dexamethasone changes the expression of thousands of genes in these cells. The paired design gives strong signals.
  • The test shows changes in expression. It does not show that a gene causes an effect.
  • The threshold is 0, so a small padj does not mean a large change. The fold change in the table shows the size. I did not test against a fold change threshold.

What is uncertain

  • There are only 4 donors. Donor-specific effects can still influence single genes.
  • I did not compare these numbers with a published workflow. Annotation and input type change the counts.
  • The padj cutoff of 0.1 and the filter came from the setup values. The ask_scientist list named the false discovery rate cutoff (alpha) and the input type. The record shows no separate answer for them. I used the harness values, 0.1 and the rds input. Please confirm these two values.
  • The gene IDs are GENCODE IDs without symbols. I did not add gene names.

What waits for the scientist

  • Confirm the padj cutoff of 0.1 and the rds input.
  • Say if I must run the test again with another filter or cutoff, or with a log2 fold change threshold above 0. I can then show how the counts change.

The review found 2 problems. The model corrects the answer before the scientist sees it.

review The review sent the answer back to the model before the scientist saw it.

- The answer uses 0.136, 0.144 from a comparison run of another option (min_samples), not from the setting that was chosen. Use the result of the chosen setting, or say clearly that the number is from the comparison.
- 13 numbers in the answer match no logged tool result: 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19. Run the tool that measures each number, or remove the number, or say how you derived it from logged results.
Fix these problems. Then give the answer again.

Model The model writes its answer. The claim check reads it. See the final answer.

The final answer

The model wrote this answer. The harness shows it to the scientist after the review.

I fixed both problems. The table now shows the exact values from the top_genes result (chosen setting: minimum count 10, minimum samples 4). There is no rounding and no comparison run. I removed the row numbers and my own up and down count for the top 20.

What I did

  1. inspect_counts read the saved tximeta object (airway_gse.rds). It has 58294 genes, 8 libraries and a length assay. The columns cell and dex are present.
  2. run_deseq fitted DESeq2 (version 1.52.0). The input type is SummarizedExperiment rds. The call is DESeqDataSetFromTximport, and transcript length offsets were used.
  3. top_genes listed the 20 genes with the lowest padj.

I did not use the CSV exports. The rds object holds the same data.

Settings

  • Design: ~ cell + dex. The cell term is the donor, so each donor's treated library is compared with the same donor's untreated library.
  • Test: dex, trt against untrt. A positive log2 fold change means higher in treated cells.
  • Replicate: one donor. There are 4 donors, each with 1 treated and 1 untreated library, so 8 libraries in total. The two libraries of one donor are paired. They are not independent replicates.
  • Filter: a gene needs a count of at least 10 in at least 4 samples.
  • Cutoffs: padj < 0.1 and log2 fold change threshold 0.
  • Exclusions: none.

Results (step: run_deseq)

  • Genes in the input: 58294.
  • Genes that pass the filter and are tested: 16637.
  • Genes with padj < 0.1: 4381.
  • Up in treated: 2362.
  • Down in treated: 2019.
  • Genes with padj NA: 646.

Top 20 genes (step: top_genes)

The log2 fold change is trt against untrt. The rows are in order of padj, lowest first. The table is also saved as top_genes-1/top.csv.

A negative log2 fold change means lower in treated cells.

What I infer

  • Dexamethasone changes the expression of thousands of genes in these cells. The paired design gives strong signals.
  • The test shows changes in expression. It does not show that a gene causes an effect.
  • The threshold is 0, so a small padj does not mean a large change. The fold change shows the size. I did not test against a fold change threshold.

What is uncertain

  • There are only 4 donors. Donor-specific effects can still influence single genes.
  • I did not compare these numbers with a published workflow. Annotation and input type change the counts.
  • The padj cutoff of 0.1 and the rds input came from the harness setup values. Please confirm them.
  • The gene IDs are GENCODE IDs without symbols. I did not add gene names.

What waits for the scientist

  • Confirm the padj cutoff of 0.1 and the rds input.
  • Say if I must run the test again with another filter, another cutoff, or a log2 fold change threshold above 0. I can then show how the counts change.
Settings and step results that the answer does not mention. The harness adds them.
Settings used, from the decision record: Input type: SummarizedExperiment rds · Design formula: ~ cell + dex · Variable of interest: dex · Reference level: untrt · Test level: trt · Minimum count for a gene to count as detected: 10 · Minimum number of samples with a detected gene: 4 · False discovery rate cutoff (padj): 0.1 · Log2 fold change threshold: 0.

Values that are not scored

  • A trap value is the result of a wrong method, for example an unpaired test on paired data. A trap value in a main step means that the run used the wrong method. A trap value in a comparison run is correct, because the record keeps the scientist's choice.
  • An optional value is a second result of the same method. The run can compute it or not.
  • A reference value comes from a different program version or a check run by us. We show it for comparison.

Checks

Review findings

The review recorded 7 findings. A rule finding comes from a fixed check in the harness. A referee finding comes from a second model that reads the record. The harness shows the findings to the scientist with the final answer. The record does not mark a finding as fixed. Thus a finding from an early review round can apply to a draft that the model corrected later.

A SHA-256 hash is a fingerprint of the file contents. If one byte of the file changes, the hash changes. The table shows the first 12 characters.

How to repeat it

Get the data. The script downloads the files and checks their SHA-256 hashes where it lists them.

CUVETTE_DATA={data} bash bench/papers/love2014-deseq2-airway/fetch.sh

Run the same case with Cuvette. The script gives the same answers from bench/papers/love2014-deseq2-airway/bench.yaml.

cuvette bench papers --papers love2014-deseq2-airway --models claude:claude-sonnet-5-5

Repeat each step by hand in the program. For each step, the harness records a manual route: the menu path or the code that gives the same result. This list does not include comparison runs.

  1. inspect_counts (step n1)

    Code

    counts <- as.matrix(read.csv("counts.csv", row.names=1)); coldata <- read.csv("coldata.csv", row.names=1); dim(counts)
    • Install R and the Bioconductor package DESeq2.
    • Read the input. A count table: read.csv(). Salmon, kallisto or RSEM files: tximport(). An .rds file: readRDS().
    • Run dim(counts) and head(coldata). The column names of the counts must be the row names of the sample table.
    • Check that the counts are whole numbers. Estimated counts with decimals need the transcript lengths.
    • Code only: this step has no route in the program menus. Run it with the script or flow export.
    • Note: DESeq2 has no menu route. The route is the R call.

    The manual route that the harness recorded

    # input: SummarizedExperiment rds
readRDS(), a RangedSummarizedExperiment with the assays counts, abundance, length

    The program has no menu route for this step. To repeat it, run the code.

  2. run_deseq (step n7)

    Code

    se <- readRDS("gse.rds"); dds <- DESeqDataSet(se, design=~ cell + dex)
    • Run readRDS() on the file.
    • For tximeta output, DESeqDataSet(se, design) rounds the counts and uses the length assay as offsets.
    • Filter, run DESeq() and results() as for a count matrix.
    • design of DESeqDataSet() = ~ cell + dex
    • alpha of results() = 0.1
    • lfcThreshold of results() = 0
    • Warning: If you keep the default ~ 1, you get a different result.
    • Note: The tool reads the counts assay and the length (or avgTxLength) assay and calls DESeqDataSetFromTximport. For tximeta output this is the same as DESeqDataSet(se). An object with no length assay goes to DESeqDataSetFromMatrix. countsFromAbundance other than no turns the offsets off.

    The manual route that the harness recorded

    # input: SummarizedExperiment rds, transcript length offsets used
se <- readRDS("{data}/love2014-deseq2-airway/airway_gse.rds"); txi <- list(counts=assay(se, "counts"), length=assay(se, "length"), countsFromAbundance="no"); dds <- DESeqDataSetFromTximport(txi, colData(se), design=~ cell + dex); dds$dex <- relevel(dds$dex, ref="untrt"); dds <- dds[rowSums(counts(dds) >= 10) >= 4, ]; dds <- DESeq(dds); res <- results(dds, contrast=c("dex","trt","untrt"), alpha=0.1, lfcThreshold=0)

    The manual route uses the same method. The note in the route gives the known difference.

  3. top_genes (step n8)

    Code

    head(res[order(res$padj), ], 20)
    • Run res[order(res$padj), ].
    • Keep the rows with padj below alpha. Use head() to show the first rows.
    • Code only: this step has no route in the program menus. Run it with the script or flow export.
    • Note: DESeq2 has no menu route.

    The program has no menu route for this step. To repeat it, run the code.

harness note A note from the harness to the model. The scientist did not write it.
- Setup values:
Question:
- What question do you ask with these samples? (question): Does dexamethasone change gene expression in human airway smooth muscle cells, and in which genes?
Design:
- What is the unit of replication? (replicate): donors or animals (several libraries for each one)
- Design formula (design): ~ cell + dex
- Variable of interest (variable): dex
- Reference level (reference_level): untrt
- Test level (test_level): trt
- Samples or genes that you exclude (exclusions): none
Ask the scientist: Input type (input_type), Minimum count for a gene to count as detected (min_count), Minimum number of samples with a detected gene (min_samples), False discovery rate cutoff (padj) (alpha), Log2 fold change threshold (lfc_threshold).
The harness fills these values into your tool calls automatically. If you give a different value, the harness logs a deviation and shows it to the scientist.
- Mode is now watch: you run the steps.

Model

I will start by inspecting the tximeta object to confirm its input type and sample table.

The model calls inspect_counts (adapter deseq2).

step n1 inspect_counts adapter deseq2 0.2.1, DESeq2 4.6.1

Detected input type: SummarizedExperiment rds (the file is a saved R object (.rds)). 58294 genes, 8 samples, 5 coldata columns, 22709 zero-count genes. Transcript lengths are present, so run_deseq uses them as offsets.

Model

The object has 8 libraries from 4 donors, with the dex column (trt, untrt). Next I will set the plan and then run the DESeq2 model.

plan The model updates its plan.

  1. done Inspect the tximeta object: input type, 8 samples, 4 donors, dex column. Done.
  2. doing Confirm the filter, the cutoff and the fold change threshold with the scientist.
  3. todo Run DESeq2 with design ~ cell + dex, reference untrt, test trt, with length offsets.
  4. todo Read the top 20 genes with fold change and adjusted p value.
  5. todo Report the filter, the counts of genes up and down, and the caveats.
The model calls run_deseq (adapter deseq2).

paused The harness paused run_deseq until the scientist chose: Input type, Low-count filter, minimum count, Low-count filter, number of samples, False discovery rate (FDR) cutoff, Log2 fold change threshold. The decision cards follow.

decision card Input type

count matrix - whole-number gene counts (featureCounts, HTSeq, summarizeOverlaps). transcript quantification - Salmon, kallisto or RSEM files and a transcript-to-gene table; tximport makes gene counts and average transcript lengths. counts and lengths - the two tables of a tximport result. SummarizedExperiment rds - a saved object, such as tximeta output. With transcript lengths, DESeq2 uses them as offsets for each gene and sample, and the result changes. Do not round Salmon or kallisto counts into a count matrix. The model wants to run run_deseq.

Options: count matrix transcript quantification counts and lengths SummarizedExperiment rds

Suggested: SummarizedExperiment rds (The harness detected it from the files. The input is a saved R object (.rds).)

Data that the model gave for this card
Detected from the files: SummarizedExperiment rds. The input is a saved R object (.rds).

Answer SummarizedExperiment rds

No person answered in this run. A script gave the answer that we wrote before the run, from the methods of the paper. Source in the tutorial or test suite: The workflow imports Salmon output with tximeta and builds the DESeqDataSet from the object, so DESeq2 uses the average transcript lengths.

decision card Minimum count for a gene to count as detected

A gene is detected in a sample if its count is at least this number. The model wants to run run_deseq.

Suggested: 10 (This is the adapter default.)

Answer 10

No person answered in this run. A script gave the answer that we wrote before the run, from the methods of the paper. Source in the tutorial or test suite: Workflow section 4.1. A gene must have a count of at least 10 in enough samples.

decision card Log2 fold change threshold

With 0 the test asks if the change is not zero. With 1 the test asks if the change is more than a doubling. A threshold above 0 gives fewer genes. The model wants to run run_deseq.

Suggested: 0 (This is the adapter default.)

Answer 0

No person answered in this run. A script gave the answer that we wrote before the run, from the methods of the paper. Source in the tutorial or test suite: Workflow section 5.2. The default test uses no threshold. The workflow shows a threshold of 1 as an option.

Comparing the options for "Minimum number of samples with a detected gene" before it asks the scientist.

decision card Minimum number of samples with a detected gene

The tool keeps a gene if it is detected in at least this many samples. Use the number of samples in the smallest group. The filter changes the number of genes that are tested and the adjusted p values. The model wants to run run_deseq.

Suggested: 4 (This is the adapter default.)

Answer 4

No person answered in this run. A script gave the answer that we wrote before the run, from the methods of the paper. Source in the tutorial or test suite: Workflow section 4.1. The workflow uses the smallest group size, which is four samples.

Model

The scientist confirmed the minimum count (10), the minimum number of samples (4) and the log2 fold change threshold (0). These match the values that the DESeq2 run used. Next I will read the top 20 genes from the results table.

The model calls top_genes (adapter deseq2).

step n8 top_genes adapter deseq2 0.2.1, DESeq2 4.6.1

top 20 of the genes with padj < 0.1 (both)

Decisions applied: False discovery rate (FDR) cutoff = 0.1.

Outputs: top (f446ee8e7ef3).

Result: dexamethasone changes expression of 4381 genes at padj < 0.1

What I did

  1. Inspected the tximeta object. It is a SummarizedExperiment with 58294 genes and 8 libraries. Transcript lengths are present.
  2. Ran DESeq2 (version 1.52.0) with the DESeqDataSetFromTximport call. Length offsets were used.
  3. Read the top 20 genes from the results table.

Setup

  • Design: ~ cell + dex. The cell term is the donor.
  • Variable: dex. Reference level: untrt. Test level: trt.
  • Positive log2 fold change means higher in trt than in untrt.
  • Replicate: one donor. There are 4 donors. Each donor gives one treated and one untreated library, so each group has 4 libraries.
  • The two libraries from one donor are paired. They are not two replicates.
  • Filter: at least 10 counts in at least 4 libraries. The scientist confirmed both values. 16637 of 58294 genes pass.
  • Log2 fold change threshold: 0. The scientist confirmed this value.
  • Adjusted p value (padj) cutoff: 0.1. This value came from the harness setup. I did not find a confirmed answer for it in the answers file.

Counts (padj < 0.1)

  • Significant genes: 4381.
  • Up in trt: 2362.
  • Down in trt: 2019.
  • 646 genes have padj not available (NA). An NA is not a result.
  • The fold change threshold is 0. So these counts include genes with any size of change. They do not show strong change only.

Of the top 20, 17 go up and 3 go down (ranks 15, 16 and 17).

What is uncertain

  • The gene IDs have version numbers and no gene symbols. Map them to symbols before you read the biology.
  • The adjusted p value cutoff of 0.1 sets the count of 4381. A cutoff of 0.05 gives a different count.
  • The test shows a change in expression with dexamethasone. It does not show that a gene causes the effect.
  • Four donors is a small number of replicates. The result depends on this sample set.

What waits for you

  • Confirm the adjusted p value cutoff. I can run again with 0.05 or another value.
  • Confirm the input type and the other setup values, if your records need them.
  • Tell me if you want gene symbols added to the results table.
harness note A note from the harness to the model. The scientist did not write it.
- Your plan still has steps that are not done: Confirm the filter, the cutoff and the fold change threshold with the scientist.; Run DESeq2 with design ~ cell + dex, reference untrt, test trt, with length offsets.; Read the top 20 genes with fold change and adjusted p value.; Report the filter, the counts of genes up and down, and the caveats.. Do the next one now with a tool. If a step cannot be done, call plan and mark it skipped with the reason. Then give the answer, with every number the request asks for.

Model thinking, summary: The plan I set up earlier is outdated since those steps have effectively been completed. I should update it to mark the run and gene reporting as done, while flagging the padj cutoff confirmation as still waiting on the scientist, then restate the answer with full numbers.

plan The model updates its plan.

  1. done Inspect the tximeta object: input type, 8 libraries, 4 donors, dex column.
  2. done Confirm the filter (min count 10, min samples 4) and the log2 fold change threshold (0) with the scientist. Done: the scientist answered.
  3. waiting Confirm the adjusted p value cutoff (0.1 used in the run). No confirmed answer in the record.
  4. done Run DESeq2 with design ~ cell + dex, reference untrt, test trt, with length offsets. Done: 16637 genes tested.
  5. done Read the top 20 genes with fold change and adjusted p value. Done.
  6. done Report the filter, the counts of genes up and down, and the caveats. Done in the answer.
Model Answer draft 1. The claim check and the review read it.

The plan now shows each step with its status. Only one step waits: confirming the adjusted p value cutoff.

Of the top 20, 17 go up and 3 go down (ranks 15, 16 and 17).

What is uncertain

  • The gene IDs have version numbers and no gene symbols. Map them to symbols before you read the biology.
  • The adjusted p value cutoff of 0.1 sets the count of 4381. A cutoff of 0.05 gives a different count.
  • The test shows a change in expression with dexamethasone. It does not show that a gene causes the effect.
  • Four donors is a small number of replicates. The result depends on this sample set.

What waits for you

  • Confirm the adjusted p value cutoff. I can run again with 0.05 or another value.
  • Tell me if you want gene symbols added to the results table.

The review found 2 problems. The model corrects the answer before the scientist sees it.

review The review sent the answer back to the model before the scientist saw it.

- The answer uses 0.05 from a comparison run of another option (alpha), not from the setting that was chosen. Use the result of the chosen setting, or say clearly that the number is from the comparison.
- 13 numbers in the answer match no logged tool result: 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19. Run the tool that measures each number, or remove the number, or say how you derived it from logged results.
Fix these problems. Then give the answer again.

Model

The review found two problems. I will check the table values and counts against the saved results file before I answer again.

The model runs run_script.
import pandas as pd
res = pd.read_csv("run_deseq-6/results.csv")
top = pd.read_csv("top_genes-1/top.csv")
sig = res[res["padj"] < 0.1]
print("genes in results:", len(res))
print("padj missing:", res["padj"].isna().sum())
print("padj < 0.1:", len(sig))
print("up (log2FC > 0) among padj < 0.1:", int((sig["log2FoldChange"] > 0).sum()))
print("down (log2FC < 0) among padj < 0.1:", int((sig["log2FoldChange"] < 0).sum()))
print("top 20 rows:", len(top))
print("top 20 up:", int((top["log2FoldChange"] > 0).sum()), "top 20 down:", int((top["log2FoldChange"] < 0).sum()))
for i, r in enumerate(top.itertuples(index=False), start=1):
    print(i, r.gene_id, round(r.baseMean, 2), round(r.log2FoldChange, 3), "%.2e" % r.padj)
The harness lets the model use run_script. In this validation, the harness lets the model use every tool and does not ask the scientist.

step n9 run_script

The script ran in {work} and wrote 0 new file(s) to {work}.

The final answer

The model wrote this answer. The harness shows it to the scientist after the review.

Result: dexamethasone changes expression of 4381 genes at padj < 0.1

What I did

  1. Inspected the tximeta object. It is a SummarizedExperiment with 58294 genes and 8 libraries. Transcript lengths are present.
  2. Ran DESeq2 (version 1.52.0) with the DESeqDataSetFromTximport call. Length offsets were used.
  3. Read the top 20 genes from the results table.
  4. Checked the counts and the top 20 table against the saved results file with a script.

Setup

  • Design: ~ cell + dex. The cell term is the donor.
  • Variable: dex. Reference level: untrt. Test level: trt.
  • Positive log2 fold change means higher in trt than in untrt.
  • Replicate: one donor. There are 4 donors. Each donor gives one treated and one untreated library, so each group has 4 libraries.
  • The two libraries from one donor are paired. They are not two replicates.
  • Filter: at least 10 counts in at least 4 libraries. The scientist confirmed both values. 16637 of 58294 genes pass.
  • Log2 fold change threshold: 0. The scientist confirmed this value.
  • Adjusted p value (padj) cutoff: 0.1. This value came from the harness setup. I did not find a confirmed answer for it in the answers file. I did not run any other cutoff.

Counts (padj < 0.1)

  • Significant genes: 4381.
  • Up in trt: 2362.
  • Down in trt: 2019.
  • 646 genes have padj not available (NA). An NA is not a result.
  • The fold change threshold is 0. So these counts include genes with any size of change. They do not show strong change only.

Rank is the order in the sorted list. It is not a measured value. The base mean, log2 fold change and padj values come from the results file. The script rechecked each row.

Of the top 20, 17 go up and 3 go down (ranks 15, 16 and 17). The script counted these.

What is uncertain

  • The gene IDs have version numbers and no gene symbols. Map them to symbols before you read the biology.
  • The count of 4381 depends on the padj cutoff of 0.1. A different cutoff gives a different count. I did not run another cutoff, so I do not report one.
  • The test shows a change in expression with dexamethasone. It does not show that a gene causes the effect.
  • Four donors is a small number of replicates. The result depends on this sample set.

What waits for you

  • Confirm the padj cutoff. I can run again with another value if you name it.
  • Tell me if you want gene symbols added to the results table.
Settings and step results that the answer does not mention. The harness adds them.
Settings used, from the decision record: Input type: SummarizedExperiment rds · Design formula: ~ cell + dex · Variable of interest: dex · Reference level: untrt · Test level: trt · Minimum count for a gene to count as detected: 10 · Minimum number of samples with a detected gene: 4 · False discovery rate cutoff (padj): 0.1 · Log2 fold change threshold: 0.

Values that are not scored

  • A trap value is the result of a wrong method, for example an unpaired test on paired data. A trap value in a main step means that the run used the wrong method. A trap value in a comparison run is correct, because the record keeps the scientist's choice.
  • An optional value is a second result of the same method. The run can compute it or not.
  • A reference value comes from a different program version or a check run by us. We show it for comparison.

Checks

Review findings

The review recorded 5 findings. A rule finding comes from a fixed check in the harness. A referee finding comes from a second model that reads the record. The harness shows the findings to the scientist with the final answer. The record does not mark a finding as fixed. Thus a finding from an early review round can apply to a draft that the model corrected later.

Failed tool calls

No tool call failed.

Data integrity

Some data files have no matching step. See the table. Such a file can be an input that the tool reads from a folder. The record does not hash the files in a folder.

A SHA-256 hash is a fingerprint of the file contents. If one byte of the file changes, the hash changes. The table shows the first 12 characters.

How to repeat it

Get the data. The script downloads the files and checks their SHA-256 hashes where it lists them.

CUVETTE_DATA={data} bash bench/papers/love2014-deseq2-airway/fetch.sh

Run the same case with Cuvette. The script gives the same answers from bench/papers/love2014-deseq2-airway/bench.yaml.

cuvette bench papers --papers love2014-deseq2-airway --models claude:claude-haiku-5-5

Repeat each step by hand in the program. For each step, the harness records a manual route: the menu path or the code that gives the same result. This list does not include comparison runs.

  1. inspect_counts (step n1)

    Code

    counts <- as.matrix(read.csv("counts.csv", row.names=1)); coldata <- read.csv("coldata.csv", row.names=1); dim(counts)
    • Install R and the Bioconductor package DESeq2.
    • Read the input. A count table: read.csv(). Salmon, kallisto or RSEM files: tximport(). An .rds file: readRDS().
    • Run dim(counts) and head(coldata). The column names of the counts must be the row names of the sample table.
    • Check that the counts are whole numbers. Estimated counts with decimals need the transcript lengths.
    • Code only: this step has no route in the program menus. Run it with the script or flow export.
    • Note: DESeq2 has no menu route. The route is the R call.

    The manual route that the harness recorded

    # input: SummarizedExperiment rds
readRDS(), a RangedSummarizedExperiment with the assays counts, abundance, length

    The program has no menu route for this step. To repeat it, run the code.

  2. run_deseq (step n7)

    Code

    se <- readRDS("gse.rds"); dds <- DESeqDataSet(se, design=~ cell + dex)
    • Run readRDS() on the file.
    • For tximeta output, DESeqDataSet(se, design) rounds the counts and uses the length assay as offsets.
    • Filter, run DESeq() and results() as for a count matrix.
    • design of DESeqDataSet() = ~ cell + dex
    • alpha of results() = 0.1
    • lfcThreshold of results() = 0
    • Warning: If you keep the default ~ 1, you get a different result.
    • Note: The tool reads the counts assay and the length (or avgTxLength) assay and calls DESeqDataSetFromTximport. For tximeta output this is the same as DESeqDataSet(se). An object with no length assay goes to DESeqDataSetFromMatrix. countsFromAbundance other than no turns the offsets off.

    The manual route that the harness recorded

    # input: SummarizedExperiment rds, transcript length offsets used
se <- readRDS("{data}/love2014-deseq2-airway/airway_gse.rds"); txi <- list(counts=assay(se, "counts"), length=assay(se, "length"), countsFromAbundance="no"); dds <- DESeqDataSetFromTximport(txi, colData(se), design=~ cell + dex); dds$dex <- relevel(dds$dex, ref="untrt"); dds <- dds[rowSums(counts(dds) >= 10) >= 4, ]; dds <- DESeq(dds); res <- results(dds, contrast=c("dex","trt","untrt"), alpha=0.1, lfcThreshold=0)

    The manual route uses the same method. The note in the route gives the known difference.

  3. top_genes (step n8)

    Code

    head(res[order(res$padj), ], 20)
    • Run res[order(res$padj), ].
    • Keep the rows with padj below alpha. Use head() to show the first rows.
    • Code only: this step has no route in the program menus. Run it with the script or flow export.
    • Note: DESeq2 has no menu route.

    The program has no menu route for this step. To repeat it, run the code.

  4. run_script (step n9)

    Run the Python code in {work}/script-1/script.py

    • Code only: this step has no route in the program menus. Run it with the script or flow export.

    The program has no menu route for this step. To repeat it, run the code.

- Mode is now watch: you run the steps.
The model calls inspect_counts (adapter deseq2).

step n1 inspect_counts adapter deseq2 0.2.1, DESeq2 4.6.1

Detected input type: SummarizedExperiment rds (the file is a saved R object (.rds)). 58294 genes, 8 samples, 4 coldata columns, 22709 zero-count genes. Transcript lengths are present, so run_deseq uses them as offsets.

The model calls run_deseq (adapter deseq2).

paused The harness paused run_deseq until the scientist chose: Input type, Low-count filter, minimum count, Low-count filter, number of samples, False discovery rate (FDR) cutoff, Log2 fold change threshold. The decision cards follow.

decision card Input type

count matrix - whole-number gene counts (featureCounts, HTSeq, summarizeOverlaps). transcript quantification - Salmon, kallisto or RSEM files and a transcript-to-gene table; tximport makes gene counts and average transcript lengths. counts and lengths - the two tables of a tximport result. SummarizedExperiment rds - a saved object, such as tximeta output. With transcript lengths, DESeq2 uses them as offsets for each gene and sample, and the result changes. Do not round Salmon or kallisto counts into a count matrix. The model wants to run run_deseq.

Options: count matrix transcript quantification counts and lengths SummarizedExperiment rds

Suggested: SummarizedExperiment rds (The harness detected it from the files. The input is a saved R object (.rds).)

Data that the model gave for this card
Detected from the files: SummarizedExperiment rds. The input is a saved R object (.rds).

Answer SummarizedExperiment rds

No person answered in this run. A script gave the answer that we wrote before the run, from the methods of the paper. Source in the tutorial or test suite: The workflow imports Salmon output with tximeta and builds the DESeqDataSet from the object, so DESeq2 uses the average transcript lengths.

decision card Minimum count for a gene to count as detected

A gene is detected in a sample if its count is at least this number. The model wants to run run_deseq.

Suggested: 10 (This is the adapter default.)

Answer 10

No person answered in this run. A script gave the answer that we wrote before the run, from the methods of the paper. Source in the tutorial or test suite: Workflow section 4.1. A gene must have a count of at least 10 in enough samples.

decision card Log2 fold change threshold

With 0 the test asks if the change is not zero. With 1 the test asks if the change is more than a doubling. A threshold above 0 gives fewer genes. The model wants to run run_deseq.

Suggested: 0 (This is the adapter default.)

Answer 0

No person answered in this run. A script gave the answer that we wrote before the run, from the methods of the paper. Source in the tutorial or test suite: Workflow section 5.2. The default test uses no threshold. The workflow shows a threshold of 1 as an option.

Comparing the options for "Minimum number of samples with a detected gene" before it asks the scientist.

decision card Minimum number of samples with a detected gene

The tool keeps a gene if it is detected in at least this many samples. Use the number of samples in the smallest group. The filter changes the number of genes that are tested and the adjusted p values. The model wants to run run_deseq.

Suggested: 4 (This is the adapter default.)

Answer 4

No person answered in this run. A script gave the answer that we wrote before the run, from the methods of the paper. Source in the tutorial or test suite: Workflow section 4.1. The workflow uses the smallest group size, which is four samples.

Comparing the options for "False discovery rate cutoff (padj)" before it asks the scientist.

Model Answer draft 1. The claim check and the review read it.

Dexamethasone significantly changes gene expression in human airway smooth muscle cells. Here are the results:

  • Genes that pass the filter: 16,637 genes
  • Significant genes (padj < 0.1): 4,381 genes
  • Genes that go up (upregulated): 2,362 genes
  • Genes that go down (downregulated): 2,019 genes

Settings and step results that the answer does not mention. The harness adds them.
Step results that the answer does not mention, from the record:
- n1 inspect_counts: Detected input type: SummarizedExperiment rds (the file is a saved R object (.rds)). 58294 genes, 8 samples, 4 coldata columns, 22709 zero-count genes. Transcript lengths are present, so run_deseq uses them as offsets.

Settings used, from the decision record: Input type: SummarizedExperiment rds · Design formula: ~ cell + dex · Variable of interest: dex · Reference level: untrt · Test level: trt · Minimum count for a gene to count as detected: 10 · Minimum number of samples with a detected gene: 4 · False discovery rate cutoff (padj): 0.1 · Log2 fold change threshold: 0.

Values that are not scored

  • A trap value is the result of a wrong method, for example an unpaired test on paired data. A trap value in a main step means that the run used the wrong method. A trap value in a comparison run is correct, because the record keeps the scientist's choice.
  • An optional value is a second result of the same method. The run can compute it or not.
  • A reference value comes from a different program version or a check run by us. We show it for comparison.

Checks

Review findings

The review recorded 6 findings. A rule finding comes from a fixed check in the harness. A referee finding comes from a second model that reads the record. The harness shows the findings to the scientist with the final answer. The record does not mark a finding as fixed. Thus a finding from an early review round can apply to a draft that the model corrected later.

errorrulenumber_from_comparisonThe answer uses 3.39, 3.75, 3.24, 3.77, 2.01, 2.01, 6.37, 2.23 from a comparison run of another option (min_samples), not from the setting that was chosen. Use the result of the chosen setting, or say clearly that the number is from the comparison.yes
inforuletext_styleThe answer breaks the text rules (ASD-STE100) in 4 places. Sentence 1 uses the passive voice: "been corrected". Use the active voice. Sentence 9 uses the passive voice: "being upregulated". Use the active voice. Sentence 9 uses "indicate". Use "show". Sentence 10 uses "indicated". Use "shown".yes

Numbers in the answer

The last claim check read 67 numbers in the answer. 66 numbers match a logged result. 0 numbers have no source in the record.

Numbers that do not match a logged result (1)
  • calculated from numbers in the record: The top genes show substantial changes in expression levels, as indicated by their log2 fold changes and adjusted p-values.

Deviations

The model did not try to change a choice of the scientist.

Failed tool calls

No tool call failed.

Data integrity

Some data files have no matching step. See the table. Such a file can be an input that the tool reads from a folder. The record does not hash the files in a folder.

A SHA-256 hash is a fingerprint of the file contents. If one byte of the file changes, the hash changes. The table shows the first 12 characters.

How to repeat it

Get the data. The script downloads the files and checks their SHA-256 hashes where it lists them.

CUVETTE_DATA={data} bash bench/papers/love2014-deseq2-airway/fetch.sh

Run the same case with Cuvette. The script gives the same answers from bench/papers/love2014-deseq2-airway/bench.yaml.

cuvette bench papers --papers love2014-deseq2-airway --models ollama:qwen3:8b

Repeat each step by hand in the program. For each step, the harness records a manual route: the menu path or the code that gives the same result. This list does not include comparison runs.

  1. inspect_counts (step n1)

    Code

    counts <- as.matrix(read.csv("counts.csv", row.names=1)); coldata <- read.csv("coldata.csv", row.names=1); dim(counts)
    • Install R and the Bioconductor package DESeq2.
    • Read the input. A count table: read.csv(). Salmon, kallisto or RSEM files: tximport(). An .rds file: readRDS().
    • Run dim(counts) and head(coldata). The column names of the counts must be the row names of the sample table.
    • Check that the counts are whole numbers. Estimated counts with decimals need the transcript lengths.
    • Code only: this step has no route in the program menus. Run it with the script or flow export.
    • Note: DESeq2 has no menu route. The route is the R call.

    The manual route that the harness recorded

    # input: SummarizedExperiment rds
readRDS(), a RangedSummarizedExperiment with the assays counts, abundance, length

    The program has no menu route for this step. To repeat it, run the code.

  2. run_deseq (step n7)

    Code

    se <- readRDS("gse.rds"); dds <- DESeqDataSet(se, design=~ cell + dex)
    • Run readRDS() on the file.
    • For tximeta output, DESeqDataSet(se, design) rounds the counts and uses the length assay as offsets.
    • Filter, run DESeq() and results() as for a count matrix.
    • design of DESeqDataSet() = ~ cell + dex
    • alpha of results() = 0.1
    • lfcThreshold of results() = 0
    • Warning: If you keep the default ~ 1, you get a different result.
    • Note: The tool reads the counts assay and the length (or avgTxLength) assay and calls DESeqDataSetFromTximport. For tximeta output this is the same as DESeqDataSet(se). An object with no length assay goes to DESeqDataSetFromMatrix. countsFromAbundance other than no turns the offsets off.

    The manual route that the harness recorded

    # input: SummarizedExperiment rds, transcript length offsets used
se <- readRDS("{data}/love2014-deseq2-airway/airway_gse.rds"); txi <- list(counts=assay(se, "counts"), length=assay(se, "length"), countsFromAbundance="no"); dds <- DESeqDataSetFromTximport(txi, colData(se), design=~ cell + dex); dds$dex <- relevel(dds$dex, ref="untrt"); dds <- dds[rowSums(counts(dds) >= 10) >= 4, ]; dds <- DESeq(dds); res <- results(dds, contrast=c("dex","trt","untrt"), alpha=0.1, lfcThreshold=0)

    The manual route uses the same method. The note in the route gives the known difference.

  3. top_genes (step n8)

    Code

    head(res[order(res$padj), ], 20)
    • Run res[order(res$padj), ].
    • Keep the rows with padj below alpha. Use head() to show the first rows.
    • Code only: this step has no route in the program menus. Run it with the script or flow export.
    • Note: DESeq2 has no menu route.

    The program has no menu route for this step. To repeat it, run the code.
