lfcShrink probelm in many 0 count genes RNA-seq data

Hi, Dr love.

I post a question about weird MAplot or volcano plot of DESeq2 diff result and also in biostar. ATpoint give a useful answer about too many 0 count genes and prefiltering.

It seems that too many 0 count genes makes lfc shrink have a probelm. And I find the apeglm and ashr result is very different. I am wondering whether you can give me some advice or which algorithms I shoud choose in this condition.

I have prefilter 0 count gene

Here is the code, and rawdata

github.com/shangguandong1996/picture_link/blob/main/WFX_count_Rmatrix.txt

# Prepare -----------------------------------------------------------------

# load up the packages
library(DESeq2)
library(dplyr)

library(ggplot2)

# Set Options
options(stringsAsFactors = F)

# load up the data
data <- read.table("rawdata/count/WFX_count_Rmatrix.txt",
                   header = TRUE,
                   row.names = 1)

coldata <- data.frame(row.names = colnames(data),
                      type = rep(c("Fx593", "Fx600"), each = 2))


# DESeq2 ------------------------------------------------------------------

dds <- DESeqDataSetFromMatrix(countData = data,
                              colData = coldata,
                              design= ~ type)
keep <- rowSums(counts(dds)) >= 10
dds <- dds[keep,]

# PCA
vsd <- vst(dds)
plotPCA(vsd, intgroup = "type")

dds <- DESeq(dds)


lfc_plotVolcano <- function(type){
    res_lfc <- lfcShrink(dds = dds,
                         type = type,
                         coef = "type_Fx600_vs_Fx593")

    as_tibble(res_lfc) %>% 
        mutate(padj = case_when(
            is.na(padj) ~ 1,
            TRUE ~ padj
        )) %>% 
        ggplot(aes(x = log2FoldChange, y = -log10(padj))) +
        geom_point() +
        ggtitle(type)
}
