I want to extract differential expressed genes using LIMMA from RNA seq data for three cancer types viz breast, lung and prostate. These data should have tumor and normal samples. I have read some papers which have used data from TCGA. BUt now TCGA has linked to Genomics Data Commons and all data are not open access. All BAM files are under controlled access. Also, LIMMA requires raw read counts for analysis. I an new to RNA seq data and analysis. Can anyone help, where should I get these data and what format should it be, as I have read that TPM, FPKM normalized values cannot be input to LIMMA.

I'm not sure what you'll have to do to get your data, but I can give you some advice on the RNA-seq part.
If you're starting with BAM files that means your reads are already aligned, if you start with reads (.fastq) you can map them yourself using any splice aware mapping tool. Assuming you have bam files though, you'll want to use a tool that extracts raw counts from the bam files. You'll need an annotation file (.gtf or gff format probably) and a counting tool. htseq-counts or featureCounts (in the RSubread package) are both good and widely used tools for extracting raw counts from BAM files, so start there and extract your counts.
Once you have gotten that far, then there are alot of tools like limma, deseq2, or edgeR that can use that data for analysis.

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
