  • cufflinks-1.0.3 produces very high FPKM values when compared to cufflinks-0.9.3. Why?

    Hi,

    The FPKM values produced by the recent cufflinks 1.0.3 are very high when compared to cufflinks-0.9.3. In both the cases I have used -N option. Can anyone tell me whats the reason for this?

    Thanks

    the same data and the same reference?

      same samples but previously I had mapped to hg18 build but now to hg19 build. I have two groups with 5 biological replicates. When I used cufflinks-0.9.3 before, the FPKM values between the replicates did not vary much. Now with cufflinks-1.0.3 they are varying a lot.

        I encounter the same problem, with -N too. FPKM is pretty high!

            Cufflinks (v2) makes erroneous FPKM calculations. I first suspected this after looking at the alignment files. Now I have fed the program a control dataset (unique genes, no introns) in which the actual abundances of all "transcript reads" are known. As expected, the FPKM values came out too high. With real data, the most extreme example I've found is where cufflinks produced an FPKM of >400, yet there are ZERO reads from the gene in question. User beware...

              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...
