  • How cufflinks works?

    Hi,

    I have different RNA-seq samples which I want to compare them with each other. I am using cufflinks to compare the transcription level of each gene.

    I am getting different number of total genes per sample. I was expecting the output of cufflinks would be all genes in the ref annotation file and FPKM shows the relevant abundance of appearance of each transcript (some number for those which exist and zero for those that not). As far as I know, "cufflinks has values for all provided transcripts". If I am right, it means only those that are exist in my sequencing data. I am also, getting zero for some of the FPKM. So I cannot conclude the zeros with the mentioned phrase.

    I cannot understand why these are happening and how I can interpret and compare the result. Generally, I want to have an overview of how cufflinks works. I have read cufflinks paper but it was hard for me to hunt answers of these question out of it.

    Any comments about it would be so helpful.

    Thanks

    Same here.
    I asked my data mapping to a GTF with ~70 genes. Then I used cufflinks to deal with the mapped results, found only about 10 genes with non-zero FPKM.

      did you have reference gtf file for cufflinks.

        Thanks, I found new gtf and fasta reference file and I think the whole problem caused because of the reference files!

          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...
