  • Different FPKM values of cufflinks and cuffdiff in latest version

    Hi all,
    This problem has been addressed here http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4606. And I noticed that in Cufflinks release 0.9.1, the problem of inconsistent FPKM values returned by cufflinks and cuffcompare had been claimed to be solved. Unfortunately, I inspected the FPKM values of many of the reconstructed transcripts and found they have different FPKM values. I am just curious: is it due to slightly different way of estimating FPKM in cufflinks and cuffdiff? Hope this problem will be eventually solved.

    Thanks.

    I don’t know if this could be the same problem, but I have observed problems with the calculated FPKM values from cufflinks. I don’t know if it is a bug, but the values for a transcript can change, dependent on the size of the GTF file.
    I have for example made a small bam file containing only reads from the AVEN gene in the region (chr15:31,945,720-32,118,595 in hg18).
    If I run cufflink with a gtf file containing ONLY that gene it will give FPKM of 668896.
    If I run cufflink with a gtf file containing AVEN and the overlapping gene CHRM5 it will give FPKM of 655518.
    If I run cufflink with a large gtf file containing all or maybe 10.000 genes it will give FPKM of 0.
    How can this be?

    I attach the relevant files.

      Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
      by seqadmin


      Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
