Is it possible to look at gene-level expression using DEXseq?

Question

[dan]

I am using the data from dexseq_count.py to look at differential exon usage and was wondering if there was a way I could look at differential gene expression using the same data?

Thank you!

I would simply use featureCounts to produce a count matrix from my BAM files which then can go into DESeq2 (or any other gene level framework).
