Hi all, I have performed batch-normalization on my RNA-Seq data leaving the data as cpm-log2 normalized. How do I use this as input in limma? It usually only take count data. -- output of sessionInfo(): none -- Sent via the guest posting facility at bioconductor.org.

Can you provide details of the batch normalization you did? 

It might (likely) be better to include the batches as covariates in a design matrix, and shoot that design matrix along with the raw count data through `limma::voom`

If you want to use count data in limma, you should use the voom function, which not only converts to log cpm, but also computes observational- level weights that can then be used as part of the modeling process. See ?voom and the limma User's Guide for more information.
