  • A question about FPKM value in the Tophat/Cufflinks pipeline

    Hi, I am a new comer of the forum. I tried to find out the answer to a question about FPKM in the pipeline Tophat/Cufflinks but I failed. So I post the question here, hoping someone might give me some hints.

    Recently our lab did a RNA-seq studies on the transcriptome of plant. I successfully applied the Tophat/Cufflinks pipeline analysis to our RNA-seq data. I used Tophat v2.0.8 and Cufflinks v2.0.2. I followed the steps listed in the Nature Protocols paper of Trapnell exactly.

    I wanted to calculate the FPKM for each gene under different conditions. So I checked the genes.fpkm_tracking output of the cuffmerge and the genes.fpkm_trancking output of the cuffdiff (after cuffmerge command). However, I found out that the FPKM values in these two files differed (e.g., 4.94066e-324 vs. 31.2836).

    How could I interpret this result?

    Any advices are welcome. Thanks.

    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...
