  • cuffdif bug?

    Recently, our lab followed tophat->cuffdif protocol to analyze RNA-seq gene expression, when we look into the cuffdif gene_exp.diff output, we find a problem that
    one gene with low reads mapped has extremely high FPKM while other genes' expression values seem fine.

    Here is the Detail:
    1 RNA-Seq library: a) A1 (100bp paired, no replicate) b) C1-2 (100bp paired,no replicate)
    2 Genome data: Homo_sapiens.GRCh37.69.dna.toplevel.fa
    3 GTF : Homo_sapiens.GRCh37.69.gtf
    4 Gene with above problem in cuffdif "gene_exp.diff" file
    test_id gene_id gene locus sample_1 sample_2 status value_1 value_2 log2(fold_change) test_stat p_value q_value significant
    ENSG00000200170 ENSG00000200170 Y_RNA 10:73856277-73995472 A1 C1-2 OK 4.75944e+06 0 -inf 0 0.1507 0.999526 no


    5 Gene with above problem in cuffdif "gene.count_tracking" file
    tracking_id A1_count A1_count_variance A1_count_uncertainty_var A1_count_dispersion_var A1_status C1-2_count C1-2_count_variance C1-2_count_uncertainty_var C1-2_count_dispersion_var C1-2_status
    ENSG00000200170 1.19092 31 0 30.2743 OK 0 1 0 0 OK


    6 tophat version: 2.0.4
    7 cufflinks version: 2.0.0 or 2.10 (similar result)
    8 Commands: (follow the nature protocol):
    tophat: tophat-2.0.4.Linux_x86_64/tophat -r 500 -o /tophatmapping/A1_Remapping -p 8 -G /tophatmapping/gtf/Homo_sapiens.GRCh37.69.gtf /tophatmapping/index/Homo_sapiens.GRCh37.69.dna.toplevel /dou_reads/A1_1.fq /dou_reads/A1_2.fq
    tophat-2.0.4.Linux_x86_64/tophat -r 500 -o /tophatmapping/C1_Remapping -p 8 -G /tophatmapping/gtf/Homo_sapiens.GRCh37.69.gtf /tophatmapping/index/Homo_sapiens.GRCh37.69.dna.toplevel /dou_reads/C1_1.fq /dou_reads/C1_2.fq

    cuffdif: ~/bin/cufflinks-2.1.0.Linux_x86_64/cuffdiff -o /tophatmapping/A1_C1-2_Recuffdiff/diff_out -b /tophatmapping/index/Homo_sapiens.GRCh37.69.dna.toplevel.fa -p 8 -L A1,C1-2 -u /tophatmapping/gtf/Homo_sapiens.GRCh37.69.gtf /tophatmapping/output_A1/accepted_hits.bam ~/fudan/maobin2/tophatmapping/C1_Remapping/accepted_hits.bam

    Question:
    1 So how can a gene with only 1 fragment mapped has 4.75944e+06 FPKM?
    2 Locus of this gene (ENSG00000200170) in gene_exp.diff file is different from locus in Homo_sapiens.GRCh37.69.gtf ,how could this happen ?

    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...

    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...
