Our DTU and DGE `countsFromAbundance` recommendations are
summarized in Figure \@ref(fig:diagram).

A final note is that, the motivation for using `scaledTPM` counts
hinges on the fact that estimated fragment counts scale with
transcript length in fragmented RNA-seq data. If a different experiment
is performed and a different quantification method used to produce
counts per transcript which *do not* scale with transcript length,
then the recommendation would be to use these counts per transcript directly.
Examples of experiments producing counts per transcript that would potentially
not scale with transcript length include
counts of full-transcript-length or nearly-full-transcript-length reads,
or counts of 3' tagged RNA-seq reads aggregated to transcript groups.
In either case, the statistical methods for DTU could be provided directly
with the transcript counts.

The following code chunk is what one would use in a typical analysis,
but is not evaluated in this workflow because the quantification files
are not provided in the *rnaseqDTU* package due to size restrictions.
