  • Cufflinks models from gsnap alignments extend beyond the reference

    I'm using Cufflinks 2.0.0 without a reference GTF to build models from GSNAP v20120427 alignments, also made without a reference GTF (i.e. using -N 1). I noticed that some of the Cufflinks models extend beyond the end of the reference contig sequence. They also seem to extend beyond the end of the GSNAP alignments as shown in a pileup file.

    For example, cufflinks reported this transcript:
    Code:
    scaffold02137	Cufflinks	exon	4297	4727	1000	-	.	gene_id "CUFF.17382"; transcript_id "CUFF.17382.1"; exon_number "2"; FPKM "95.5022086611"; frac "1.000000"; conf_lo "86.719816"; conf_hi "104.284601"; cov "139.246274";
    But scaffold01237 is only 4696 bases long, and according to the pileup, GSNAP's alignment ends at base 4696.

    Is this a known problem with this combination of Cufflinks 2.0.0 and GSNAP 20120427? I can't see how Cufflinks would know to extend the transcript if there isn't data in GSNAP's SAM/BAM output to begin with, and it makes me wonder if Cufflinks is parsing the BAM file incorrectly.

    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...
