Hi there Assuming you are talking about RNA-Seq data then differential expression analysis of exon expression can certainly be done using edgeR in the same fashion as if the counts were summarised at the gene level. The important thing is that you have raw counts for whatever features are of interest (whether genes, exons, methylation regions, etc.) as your input data for edgeR. The methods apply to count data generally, so DE analysis of exon expression can be done fine.
