Import Salmon outputs into DESeq2

Hi all,

I want to import salmon transcript estimate output fiels into DESeq2 using tximport. But I have a question. The output of salmon is in TPM But the DESeq2 needs raw data. Is my understanding right or not?

Sincerely, Kimi

Alternativey, tximport which is a bit more lightweight.
