Hey Guys, I need the raw count out of cuffquant, but all it provides is a binary file. It is really non-sense to run the tool for hours and yet get a useless file. I don't want to run cuffnorm to get the normalized gene counts I simply want the raw counts. Is it really not possible to generate with cufflink??
How do you extract raw counts from CUFFLINKS?
Ok, so basically, you mean no it is not possible.
I think what he means is that if you need some specific data, then it's best to use a program that does exactly that and nothing else. featureCounts is very convenient and efficient and will deliver the counts within minutes.
I edited your title. One question mark is perfectly sufficient.
