Hi,

I have gene expression matrix downloaded from DepMap data portal (e.g. OmicsExpressionGenesExpectedCountProfile.csv). Basically, it is a data matrix with values generated from RSEM. Row IDs are gene names and column IDs are samples (cell lines). The values are floating type, not integer. I wonder if there is a way to use DESeq2 to perform differential gene expression analysis?

Thanks,

Jason

You have included an edgeR tag so I'll answer for edgeR. edgeR will accept floating point (fractional counts) without any isues using a continuous generalization of the negative binomial distribution. For DESeq2 see Mike Love's answer here: Deseq2 raw counts input as integers.

For DESeq2 just round to integer values.

Hi Gordon and Michael, thanks for your quick replies.
