I want to do differential gene expression analysis on some Nile Tilapia RNA-Seq data using the Cufflinks-Cuffdiff method. I aligned the sequence reads to the UCSC Nile Tilapia genome with >80% mapping efficiency. I downloaded the annotation GTF file from Ensembl and converted it using the "Make ensembl GTP compatible with Cufflinks" work flow. This workflow adds "chr" in front of the chromosome number. Then I ran cufflinks on the paired-end mapped data with either the original and converted GTF file. However, the counts were 0 for all gene and transcript expression. I noticed the the chromosome names of the Tilapia gtf file are strange. They are "GL831133.1" instead of 1,2,3. I also got zero counts using HTseq-count with either the original and converted GTF file. Does anyone know a good reference annotation file that work for Tilapia? Thanks!

Looks like Nile tilapia is available in UCSC Table Browser. You should be able to get a GTF file (which should match your sequence) from there.
Clade (Vertebrate) --> Genome (Nile Tilapia) --> group (Genes and Gene Predictions) --> Track (Choose one you want, RefSeq is available) --> Region (Genome) --> Output format (GTF) --> Provide a file name (e.g. tilapia_annot.gtf) --> Save/Use with HTseq-count of featureCounts.

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...-

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...-
