Hi,

I have RSEM expected count, TPM , and FPKM values in a .csv file for all samples (60000 genes 18 samples). I understand edgeR can work with expected counts as output by RSEM, then normalize, and perform differential gene expression analysis between two or more groups.

But I want to avoid normalization process since, I already have the batch corrected TPM and FPKM values, Is there a way in edgeR to import the TMP or FPKM values, and then only perform differential gene expression analysis between groups (OR) limma is the best option to use these values and perform differential gene expression analysis?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best Regards,

Toufiq
