----------------------------------------------------------------3. RNA-seq Differential Expression (edgeR)----------------------------------------------------------------

3.1 Input--------

- File: `SupplementaryData_02_transcriptomics.xlsx`  - Sheet: `mapped_read_counts`  - Column 1: gene IDs  - Remaining columns: raw integer read counts for each RNA-seq sample.

The script:

1. Reads the Excel sheet using `readxl::read_excel`.2. Converts all count columns to numeric.3. Uses a manually defined `group` vector that encodes each sample as a treatment combination (e.g., `HLpDay`, `LLmNight`, `HLd00`, `HLr03`, etc.), corresponding to Light (HL/LL), Fe status (p/m/d/r), and time of day (Day/Night/diel times).

3.2 edgeR GLM contrasts-----------------------

The first part of the script:

1. Constructs a `DGEList` and performs TMM normalization.2. Fits a negative binomial GLM with design `~ 0 + group`.3. Defines a panel of pairwise contrasts using `makeContrasts`, including:   - HL vs LL within a given Fe and time (e.g., `HLpDayvsLLpDay`, `HLmNightvsLLmNight`)   - pFe vs −Fe within HL or LL (e.g., `HLpDayvsHLmDay`, `LLpNightvsLLmNight`)   - Day vs Night within Fe × Light (e.g., `HLmDayvsHLmNight`, `LLpDayvsLLpNight`)4. For each contrast, runs `glmLRT`, extracts the full ranked gene table with:   - log2 fold change, logCPM, LR, PValue, FDR5. Combines all contrasts into a single data frame and writes:

Output:

- `all_contrasts_with_FDR.csv`  - A wide table where each contrast contributes five columns (`logFC_*`, `logCPM_*`, `LR_*`, `PValue_*`, `FDR_*`). Each row corresponds to one gene ID.

3.3 Fe × Light interaction (RNA-seq)------------------------------------

The second part of the script focuses on the Fe × Light interaction, restricting to +Fe (p) and −Fe (m) samples:

1. Builds a `meta` data frame from column names and the `group` vector, with:   - `Light` (LL / HL)   - `Fe` (p / m / d / r)   - `TimeOfDay` (Day / Night; coded times like 00, 23, 03 are treated as Day when not explicitly labeled).2. Filters to +Fe vs −Fe only (Fe ∈ {p, m}) and drops resupply (r) and DFOB (d) conditions.3. Runs an edgeR quasi-likelihood pipeline with design:

   design_int <- model.matrix(~ Fe * Light + TimeOfDay, data = meta_int)

   which includes main effects for Fe and Light and their interaction term, plus TimeOfDay as a covariate.4. Identifies the Fe:Light interaction coefficient and runs `glmQLFTest` on that term.5. Outputs a full ranked table of genes with interaction statistics:

Outputs (in directory `interaction_rna/`):

- `rna_FeXLight_interaction_edgeR.csv`  - Columns: `gene_id`, `logFC`, `logCPM`, `F`, `PValue`, `FDR`  - `logFC` is the estimated effect of the Fe × Light interaction on expression.- `rna_FeXLight_interaction_summary.csv`  - Summary counts of genes tested and the number passing FDR < 0.05 and FDR < 0.10.

----------------------------------------------------------------4. Proteomics Differential Abundance (limma)----------------------------------------------------------------

4.1 Input--------

- File: `SupplementaryData_08_proteomics.csv`  - Contains normalized, imputed protein intensities.  - The script:    - Skips lines 2–3 using `read_csv_drop_lines()` (to remove extra annotation rows).    - Expects one column named exactly `id` for protein IDs.    - Treats all remaining columns that match the pattern `^(HL|LL)([pmr])(00|11|23)([A-Z])$` as sample columns, where:      - `HL` / `LL` = light treatment      - `p` / `m` / `r` = +Fe, −Fe, or resupply      - `00`, `11`, `23` = sampling time codes      - `A`, `B`, `C` = biological replicates

4.2 Preprocessing-----------------

1. Builds a sample metadata (`md`) with:   - `Light` ∈ {LL, HL}   - `Fe` ∈ {p, m, r}   - `Tcode` ∈ {11, 00, 23}   - `cond` = interaction of `Light.Fe.Tcode` (e.g., `HL.m.23`).2. Extracts the expression matrix `X`, converts to numeric, and sets rownames to protein IDs.3. Applies log2 transform with a pseudocount (offset = 1), then `normalizeBetweenArrays` (quantile normalization).4. Removes proteins with zero variance across samples using `rowSds`.

4.3 Design and contrasts------------------------

1. Builds a design matrix with one coefficient per observed `cond`:

   design <- model.matrix(~ 0 + cond, data = md)

2. Fits a linear model with `lmFit` and `eBayes` (trend = TRUE, robust = TRUE).3. Programmatically constructs a series of numeric contrast vectors (stored in list `C`), including:

   - Fe effects within light at “day” sampling:     - (−Fe “day”) − (+Fe “day”) for each light level (LL, HL), pooling Day00/Day23 where appropriate.   - Resupply vs +Fe within light at day:     - Resupply “day” vs +Fe “day” for LL and HL.   - Day vs Night within each Fe × Light combination:     - (Fe “day”) − (Fe “night”) for p, m, r in LL and HL.   - HL vs LL within a given Fe at day:     - (HL, Fe, day) − (LL, Fe, day) against their appropriate Day timepoints.

All contrasts are built only if the required timepoints/conditions exist in the design (the code skips missing combinations safely).

4.4 Outputs-----------

All results are written to the folder:

- `limma_results/`

Key files:

- Per-contrast differential abundance tables  - For each contrast name (e.g., `HL_Day_r_vs_p`, `LL_Day_m_vs_p`, `HLvsLL_p_Day`), the script writes:

    - `limma_results/<contrast>.csv`      - Columns:        - `ProteinID`        - `logFC`        - `AveExpr`        - `t`        - `P.Value`        - `adj.P.Val`        - `B`

- Summaries  - `limma_results/summary_counts.csv`    - Basic counts of significant proteins per contrast.  - `limma_results/summary_counts_with_pct.csv`    - Adds `n_tested`, `pct_FDR_5`, and counts of up- and down-regulated proteins at FDR ≤ 0.05.

- Design and contrast metadata  - `limma_results/design_columns.csv`    - Lists the design matrix coefficients.  - `limma_results/<contrast>_weights.csv` for each contrast    - Records the non-zero coefficient weights used to build that contrast.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------5. Running the Scripts----------------------------------------------------------------

From R (or RStudio), set the working directory to the folder containing the scripts and supplemental data, for example:

setwd("path/to/unzipped_zenodo_archive")

Then:

- RNA-seq differential expression + Fe × Light interaction

  source("path_to_RNAseq_script.R")

- Proteomics limma analyses

  source("path_to_proteomics_script.R")

(Replace `path_to_RNAseq_script.R` and `path_to_proteomics_script.R` with the actual filenames in this archive.)

Provided the paths at the top of each script (`infile`, `outdir`, and any hard-coded paths) point to the included supplementary data files, the scripts will reproduce the RNA and protein differential expression results used in the manuscript and supplementary figures.
