  • cufflinks output against annotation file

    hello, everyone,

    i run the cufflinks to calculate the RPKM(or FPKM) for annotated genes for C.elegans.

    i type in the command.
    Code:
    cufflinks -p 8 -G WormBase190/ce6_sangerRNA.gtf N2.sort.bam
    the version of cufflinks is the latest, cufflinks-1.1.0.

    however, the output is like this.

    Code:
    chrI    Cufflinks   transcript  1738651 1738674 1   +   .   gene_id "Y71G12B.29"; transcript_id "Y71G12B.2
            9"; FPKM "0.0000000000"; frac "0.000000"; conf_lo "0.000000"; conf_hi "0.000000"; cov "0.000000";
    3>    2 chrI    Cufflinks   exon    1738651 1738674 1   +   .   gene_id "Y71G12B.29"; transcript_id "Y71G12B.29"; 
            exon_number "1"; FPKM "0.0000000000"; frac "0.000000"; conf_lo "0.000000"; conf_hi "0.000000"; cov "0.0000
            00";  
          3 chrI    Cufflinks   transcript  111292  111425  1   +   .   gene_id "F53G12.12"; transcript_id "F53G12.12"
            ; FPKM "0.0000000000"; frac "0.000000"; conf_lo "0.000000"; conf_hi "0.000000"; cov "0.000000";
    FPKM is 0.

    why ?

    It is not unusual (I think) that many transcripts have an FPKM of value 0 - just means that that transcript is not expressed.

    However if all transcripts have an FPKM value of 0 then something is wrong. My first guess would be that the chromosome names in the reference does not match the chromosome names in the annotation.

      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...
