  • Cuffdiff missing genes/transcripts?

    So i completed a tophat-cufflinks-cuffcompare-cuffdiff workflow using the cuffcompare combined.gtf file as the reference in cuffdiff. My assumption was that the number of genes and transcripts in the the final cuffdiff files e.g. gene_exp.diff should be the same as in the input Cuffcompare.combined.gtf.

    The input Cuffcompare.combined.gtf has 15126 distinct gene_ids while the cuffdiff output file gene_exp.diff has only 9029.

    So 6027 genes are "missing"

    The "missing genes are all single exon and are either class_code "." OR class_code "u" however not all genes of these classes are found in the "missing" list.

    Does any one know if there is a known reason why not all genes would be present in the cuffdiff output files?

        I am having the same problem. I have one (single exon, class code u) gene missing from my Cuffdiff output that is present in my gtf file, which I made with Cufflinks and Cuffmerge. I also have >100 transcripts (but not their corresponding genes) missing from the Cuffdiff output.

        Did anyone find an answer?

          I would adjust adjusting the False Discovery Rate a bit, but more importantly increase the maximum number of fragments allows more gene Ids to be found. I believe the default is 1 Million.

          I had to play around with this Maximum Number of Fragments value to something like 10 to 50 Million to get the genes that I was interested to appear.

          I hope this helps a bit.

            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...
