By default, octad package uses expression data for 978 genes from the LINCS dataset. However, it can influence the result and we advice using whole octad database. To obtatin whole results for DE, downloading of the additional OCTAD database octad.counts.and.tpm.h5 from the AWS link is required.
Example workflow can be found in the package vignette:
