I have a very straightforward question. Please accept my apologies, I am very new to RNASeq data analysis. Can I do a limma or DESeq2 analysis of the data obtained from these two datasets:

1) LGG lncRNA data from TANRIC database (https://ibl.mdanderson.org/tanric/_design/basic/download.html)

2) Healthy brain samples from Xena (https://xenabrowser.net/datapages/?dataset=TCGA-GTEx-TARGET-gene-exp-counts.deseq2-normalized.log2&host=https%3A%2F%2Ftoil.xenahubs.net&removeHub=https%3A%2F%2Fxena.treehouse.gi.ucsc.edu%3A443). Dataset: gene expression RNAseq - RSEM expected_count (DESeq2 standardized).

I am trying to detect differentially expressed lncRNA between healthy brain samples and LGG samples.

Thank you in advance.

I don't think this is a good idea, because the two groups have two variables perfectly confounded: site + condition. So you can't tell what is a site difference and what is a condition difference.

Thank you for your response Michael.

The sites are the same in both datasets, which would be the brain. The condition is different, which is desired. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I mean site as in the location of the experiment. This induces large differences which cannot be controlled in the case of perfect confounding (as in this example).
