question about the input of Seurat #668
Comments
In fact, we also fount that the tSNE result of umi count and TPM were different. |
I would also appreciate some clarification on how to use TPM files with Seurat. I have been provided with a log(TPM+1) file. Is it necessary for me to convert this back to just TPM, then proceed with the analysis (skipping normalization)? Or is it possible to import the log(TPM+1) file and use that? |
Hi, I guess that using raw counts is the easiest way to process data through Seurat. However, if you have TPM counts, I suggest you don't use For more information please check issues #171, #181, and #481. Hope these help! Best, |
Dear authors,
Recently, we used your powerful Seurat software and I met some questions.
Your website indicated that, "count,TPM,FPKM" are allowed as the input of Seurat, but the input expression matrix should not be log-transformed.
If data was in the format of logTPM, no the step of "NormalizeData".
We found that the tSNE result of TPM and logTPM were different, but with regard to specific cluster (we tried C0 and C1), >80% cell overlap existed between two conditions.
So what's the reason of "input expression matrix should not be log-transformed"?
2.According to the manual of Seurat, the normlization method in Seurat is log normlization,
why both raw count and TPM are allowed as the input of Seurat? Are there any steps to transform them into identical thing for later analysis?
I need your help urgently and show my great appreciation to you!
