  • What is the difference between Cufflinks and other packages

    Hi:

    I have naive question and hope I could get an answer here.

    What is the difference between Cufflinks and other softwares such as edgeR, ERANGE.

    My aim is :

    I have RNA-Seq data from 5 cancer samples and 5 normal samples. (10 are different people).

    I want to have :
    a. alternative splicing events and novel isoforms.
    b. Gene expression differences between known transcripts.

    cufflinks - can identify novel transcripts (through assembly) and estimates abundance of transcripts and computes differential RNA levels.


    edgeR - is an R package that can compute differential expression of known transcripts between 5 cancer and 5 normal samples.
    edgeR cannot assemble novel transcripts and calculate their abundance.


    question:

    Can Cufflinks give me the differential expression between known and novel transcripts between 5 cancer and 5 normals. And can this be comparable to edgeR. The methodology is different for both.

    Cuffdiff - Although cuffdiff is designed to compare relative abundance between samples, can we define [T1,T2,T3,T4,T5] and [N1,N2,N3,N4,N5] samples as two blocks. I am not sure how cuffdiff will compare 5 normals and 5 tumors.



    Any help is deeply appreciated as I am very much confused. May be I have the gene expression (LIMMA) hangover !

    thank you.

    The current version of Cufflinks supports replicates for comparison.

      You could perform novel transcript assembly using cufflinks, merge with known genes using cuffcompare and then use the resulting annotation as gene definitions to use in an edgeR workflow

        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...
