  • Cufflink/Cuffdiff how to get fpkm for individual sample

    I have 3 groups of samples (A, B and C), and n=4 for each group (12 in total)

    Question 1.
    Cuffdiff output only gives group-level averaged fpkm. If i want to run some correlation tests for the gene expressions vs. phenotypic traits, how can i get the individual level of fpkm?

    Question 2.
    If i run cuffdiff in two ways:
    - 3 groups altogether (GrpA,B,C) and let the program deal with the statistics (either ANOVA or T-test)
    - 3 pair-wise comparisons (GrpA-B, GrpA-C, GrpB-C) one-by-one
    I wonder at the end if i could get the same number of significantly expressed genes for each comparison, for example GrpA-B? Did any one test that before?

    Thanks in advance!

    The *.read_group_tracking files in the cuffdiff output directory contain the individual FPKMs for each replicate, but I admit I haven't looked at them myself to see how they compare to the group-level average.

    That depends on how you run cuffdiff, and the three groups themselves. The cuffdiff default uses a pooled model of dispersion across all replicated conditions, so you'd probably get different results from pair-wise versus all together (3 sets of 2 models averaged in the pair-wise, or 1 set of 3 models averaged in the all together). Using the per-condition model of dispersion might overcome this, but I haven't tried it.

        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...
