Which reference genome, DNA or cDNA and why?
Dear Community,
The goal of my study is analyze Human RNA-seq and to take the gene count for RNA-seq and then apply the DESq2. I must use the most recent genome reference, but I am unsure of which FASTA file to use from Ensembl.
DNA or cDNA and why?
Best,

What tool are you using for your reads?
If you're using kallisto, salmon, or rsem, you use cDNA (coding DNA [aka transcriptome]) reference from ENSEMBL. It can be downloaded here: https://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/release-110/fasta/homo_sapiens/cdna/Homo_sapiens.GRCh38.cdna.all.fa.gz
