  • Cufflinks 0 FPKM values

    Hi,

    We are running tophat/cufflinks on 3 identical human rna samples which were sequenced in 3 different lanes on 2 different flowcells. All 3 samples are from the exact same library.

    When running cufflinks, the genes.fpkm_tracking file for one sample is showing some genes with 0 FPKM and status FAIL, however these same genes in the other two samples are showing a non-zero FPKM.

    We are using tophat-1.4.0, bowtie-0.12.7, and cufflinks-1.3.0

    We ran tophat with the -G option and provided the gtf file. We ran cufflinks with -G option providing the same gtf file that we gave to tophat. We also ran cufflinks with -u -N --compatible-hits-norm -b hg19_ucsc.fa

    We've tried running without options -N and --compatible-hits-norm but still had the same results.

    We are confused how with 3 identical samples, one shows up with 0 FPKM but the other two seem to have valid FPKM's. For the 0-FPKM gene, we checked the bam file in IGV and it is definitely mapped.

    Has anyone encountered a similar problem or does anyone have any insight into this?

    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Have you solved this problem yet? I met the same problem now.

      I also have same problem. I got only few genes with 0 FPKM value.
      I mean, control vs treated; control has 0 FPKM but treated shows 1098.13 FPKM.
      Theoretically speaking, it has very high fold increase, but cuffdiff Inf ?????
      do I have to include it or exclude. I think, this is very significant expression ????
      Can you all tell me please ?

        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...
