This data set has zeros. I have no idea about the comparisons between samples. I am new in limma

Kindly help me

limma r

Dear Basti,

Thank you for your response. I think , my question is pretty clear about limma and normalized count matrix. In my knowledge, EdgeR never use pre-normalized count matrix, it is prefered to use with raw count matrix as deseq2 (https://support.bioconductor.org/p/65890/#65891)
