Hello,
I have seen several topics about Cuffdiff but I haven't found information about the use of Cuffdiff with biological replicates.
I try to use Cuffdiff to do analyze differentially expressed isoforms. I am studying 2 conditions (Raman - HM1) and there are 3 replicates per condition. There are 5295 genes and 6432 isoforms.
In the documentation, it's written "If you have more than one replicate for a sample, supply the SAM files for the sample as a single comma-separated list".
So I ran Cuffdiff this way:
The replicates for the condition Raman are L2, L4 and L6. The replicates for the condition HM1 are L3, L7 and L8.
I'm interested in the output files isoform_exp.diff:
Here is my problem. The file contains 96480 (15*6432) lines (instead of 6432). 15 is the number of combinations between the 6 data sets... I think Cuffdiff did not consider the 3 biological replicates as one condition !
Moreover, I don't know why I don't have the adjusted p-value information...
How can I use Cuffdiff to get differentially expressed isoforms ?
Thanks for your help,
Jane
