Hi

I am using Salmon to process my RNA seq data. I just want to confirm that the abundance given as an output by the tximport package corresponds to TPM. Many of the cells (the output of tximport) have a value of zero which is making me think about this.

Regards

Tanya

Hi Michael

Thanks a lot. My TPM data is showing a lot of variation in terms of trends than RPM. Like the tximport output gives a lot of variation among the replicates. Can you please help me why this would be happening.

Thanks

Tanya

tximport just collates the TPM, it’s not doing the estimation of TPM

Yes, txi$abundance is the TPMs estimated by Salmon.
