Those aren't raw counts, they're estimated raw counts.
Hint: don't try to coerce cufflinks data into DESeq.

So, you saw that since these are estimated raw counts and they are coming from cufflinks which are infact considering noise for duplicate read counts as well. However for DESeq we donot consider the duplicate read counts right? For DESeq each counting unit is evidence of one sequencing read. So we should not consider this estimated raw count and rather generate the raw count using HT-Seq for my data and then use them for DESeq analysis? Is that what you want to mean?Comment

The validity of the statistical model used by DESeq depends on its input being integer read counts directly from individual samples. Trying to use anything else will just produce unreliable results.
So yes, use htseq-count to generate your count matrix.Comment

Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.
There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...07-08-2026, 05:17 AM -
Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.07-01-2026, 11:43 AM
