Hi,

I would like to use edgeR to estimate the RPKM values.  I have (1) read counts files estimated by HTSeq-count, and (2) a transcript length file. I know how to estimate CPM in edgeR, using below command lines. However, I don’t know how to estimate RPKM values based on the files I have. Could you show me how to run the command lines in edgeR? Many thanks.

Best,

Gary

Well, it would be a good start to load the gene lengths into memory.

gene.data <- read.table("hg19refGene20160206_TranscriptLength.txt", header=TRUE)

You then need to match the gene names in d to the ordering of gene.data:

m <- match(rownames(d), gene.data$Transcript)
gene.lengths <- gene.data$TranscriptLength[m]

... and then you should be able to run rpkm on that.

Hi Aaron,

Thank you so much.
