Proteomics in CellChat #515

Open simonmfr opened 1 year ago

simonmfr commented 1 year ago

Hi, do you have any experience with running proteomics data in Cellchat? Can I just replace RNA expression values with MS-derived protein quantifications, given the correct gene identifiers are present?

Any advice is appreciated! Simon

@simonmfr If you have protein data, I think that would be better since L-R interactions happen at protein level.

Thank you for the response @sqjin!

Is there anything I need to consider when using normalized protein quantification values instead of normalized expression values?
