  • FPKM_tracking file question

    Hello,
    I've got two questions about a Tophat alignment and Cufflinks analysis on some rat RNAseq data
    1) I was wondering what an acceptable range of FPKM values should look like. I've sorted some Cufflinks jobs to retrieve a list of the genes with the most mapped fragments and the FPKM values from the genes.fpkm_tracking files seem awfully inflated, and I haven't used quantile normalization. Are we talking 0-50, 0-200,000, because I have some FPKMs that large.
    2) Why do the some rows in the fpkm_tracking files have the standard 'CUFF' id and some have the gene names? I've provided annotation at every step, and every row that I've checked with the 'CUFF' id is an annotated gene.
    Thanks

    1) As a guess, you may have rRNA or other contamination.

    2) Don't know. Are you using the 'merged.gtf' file and did you use your original annotation file when merging?

      Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
      by seqadmin


      The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist on Modified Bases...

      Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
      by seqadmin


      Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...
