I don't follow your question. If you want to do clustering or PCA
using DESeq2, I assume you are applying one of the two transformations
we have implemented, as described in the vignette. If size factors are
not already estimated, both transformations will estimate them
internally, likewise for dispersions.
These transformations return objects with matrices in the assay slot
which are appropriate for calculating distances or PCA. We show
demonstrations of both calculating distance and PCA in the vignette.
Please look the vignette over again, as this is the recommended usage.
These transformed values have been corrected for size factor.
You should not use any DESeq2 functions on the matrix of transformed
values. The transformation is the last step within DESeq2, then we
assume the user is doing something "downstream" with these values.
