  • RNA-Seq - From Cufflinks FPKM to differential gene expression

    Hello,

    I recently started working with RNA-Seq. I have a study with 8 samples divided in 2 groups (let say A and B). I applied the tophat-cufflinks pipeline. As a result, for each file, i have "genes.fpkm_tracking" which contains the fpkm for each read.

    The question is : is it possible to estimate the differential gene expression between these 2 groups based only on these fpkm results.

    (i read a post from Simon Anders where i think he was suggesting that this is impossible. but this post was old and anyway i can't find it again).

    If not, what is the point of using Cufflinks?

    thanks

    Hi Aituka,
    CUFFLINKS output is used as INPUT for cuffdiff, which anlayses the fpkm values betwseen the samples to give you differential expression. alternatively u can use a refence annotation rather than cufflinks, but cuffdiff requires certain attributes which the reference annotation does not have

    hope it helps.
