  • Cufflinks pipeline for splicing differences between animal samples

    I have been trying to set up a pipeline for identification of differential expression, but in particular differential splicing between samples in a group of animals. A genome sequence exist, but without any gene reference annotation GTF.

    So far I have been able to detect plenty of genes that are differentially expressed between the animals, but cuffdiff always comes up with zero (0) splicing tests or significant column values always being 'no' when test is 'OK'.

    I can see examples of differential splicing when I manually inspect the data in IGV, so why am I not able to detect these with cuffdiff?

    In short my pipeline looks as follows:

    tophat genome_ref animal_1.fastq, ..., animal_n.fastq
    cufflinks animal_1.hits.bam, ..., animal_n.hits.bam
    cuffcompare animal_1.transcripts.gtf, ..., animal_n..transcripts.gtf
    cuffdiff cuffcmp.combined.gtf animal_1.hits.bam, ..., animal_n.hits.bam

    I have also tried decreasing the minimum count option or increasing the P-value cutoff, but it does not give me differentially spliced genes with significant P-values.

    Any thoughts ideas?

    Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
    by seqadmin


    The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...

    Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
    by seqadmin




    The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...
