  • cufflinks/gencode pipeline issues

    Hi everyone,

    I am trying to use Gencode (ver 7) to do my RNA-seq analysis, but I am having various issues.

    1) if I use Gencode as downloaded from the Project website, cufflinks runs for ever. As a comparison, if I use the Ensambl release (using the latest version linked from cufflinks website), the run time is at least 20 times shorter.
    Why is there such a huge difference ? just a matter of annotation size ??

    2) The original fastq files were mapped (by someone else) with Tophat and using a filtered version of Gencode (it is much smalle than the original).
    Is there a problem if I now run cufflinks on the full version of Gencode ?
    Intuitively I may expect some loss of accuracy in whatever was filtered out of the full Gencode (given that Tophat ran on a filtered version)

    3) Gencode has various duplicated entries. While Tophat and cufflinks do not seem to mind, cuffmerge and cuffcompare exit with an error.
    How to solve this issue ?
    I guess one can filter the duplicated entries with gffread from either the annotation itself or the transcript.gtf files ???

    4) I also ran cufflinks with Ensambl (linked from the cuflinks website), but the resulting transcript.gtf, genes.fpkm_tracking, and isoforms.fpkm_tracking do not have any gene (or transcript) symbol, rather all have the prefix CUFF. What is the problem ? How do I get back the gene symbols ?? could I use cuffmerge ?

    Thanks
    Gianfilippo

    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...
