Hi, Can I use log2(count+1) transformed TCGA htseq counts from Xenabrowser directly for DESeq2 analysis? Or, do i need to reverse transform the data? Please point me out any R script to reverse transform the file. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I don't think so. DESeq2 only takes absolute raw counts or counts quantified/estimated by salmon, kallisto, etc, (using tximport), not normalized or transformed counts.
