  • Cuffset number of genes too high

    Hi,

    So I'm implementing a pretty standard tuxedo pipeline on paired-end mouse data. I went along as follows.

    Using the standard mouse build (37) from Ensemble and the associated annotation data I did the following.

    cutadapt -> tophat2 -> cufflinks -> cuffmerge -> cuffquant -> cuffdiff -> cummerbund.

    Tophat2 is giving me roughly 85% overall mapping, 5-10% multimap. Cufflinks was run on around 100 files and those were merged with cuffmerge. All of the bam files were then run with cuffquant using the gtf from cuffmerge.

    To test out an initial dataset I just used two sample conditions (2 replicates each) to do cuffdiff. 8 files. (4 control, 4 corresponding experimental case).


    Now, I load this up in cummeRbund and see the following:
    CuffSet instance with:
    2 samples
    52615 genes
    220501 isoforms
    106928 TSS
    49476 CDS
    52615 promoters
    106928 splicing
    21223 relCDS
    So this is my first time working with mouse or cufflinks pipeline, but somehow these numbers don't feel right. So I checked it out and at least I found that mouse has only around 23,000 genes, so thats wrong for sure.

    Could someone explain to me what sort of numbers I should be seeing here and why at least cuffdiff/cummRbund is showing approximately double the number of genes that should exist in the genome I'm looking at?

    I appreciate any feedback anyone can provide.

    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...
