Hi all,

I want to import salmon transcript estimate output fiels into DESeq2 using tximport. But I have a question. The output of salmon is in TPM But the DESeq2 needs raw data. Is my understanding right or not？

Sincerely, Kimi

The vignette here provides a detailed description of how to import salmon counts. You are right DESeq2 requires raw counts and numReads in quant.sf for Salmon run provides that.

Alternativey, tximport which is a bit more lightweight.
