I am running into an issue with the current version of Cufflinks (2.1.1) that I have not seen in previous versions. Some of the FPKM_conf_hi values are smaller than the FPKM values. Since the Cufflinks manual says FPKM_conf_hi is supposed to represent "the upper limit of the 95% FPKM confidence interval", I cannot see how this can be the case.
Here is a sampling of some of the problem values for FPKM, FPKM_conf_lo, and FPKM_conf_hi:
In this sample, it occurs 75 times out of 23424 annotations.
The version of Cufflinks I was using before (2.0.2) does not have this issue at all. Another person at my institution using Cufflinks 2.1.1 with a separate organism, genome, annotation, and aligner is also seeing this issue.
Anyone else notice this?
