  • Strange density plot of log10(fpkm)

    Dear all,

    I am analyzing my 50bp paired-end RNA-seq using the Tophat - Cuffdiff - Cufflinks - cummeRbund pipeline.
    I seem to get very nice plots with most of my data, but for one specific tissue I get a strange density plot for the KO sample with just one peak (like a shoulder) instead of the usual shape I get being the case for Ctrl.

    Do you know what is causing this distribution and is it something I would have to worry about?

    The fastqc files pass the fastQC quality control.

    Thanks in advance. Appreciate all inputs!

    The KO and the Ctrl graphs look normal to me. The slight change in the peak shapes could be a result of slightly different levels of gene expression between the two samples.
