Hi,

I used DESeq2 to identify genes that vary with age. I am now wondering whether DESeq2 can also be used to predict age from gene expression or if the recommended approach would be to export the count normalized (with vst ??) and build the model with an other package ?

Thanks

The package has no such inbuilt function but you are free to use the vst (or any normalized) counts to train a regression model or classifier.
