Is there an easy way to compute FPKMs from bam files (Tophat output)? I am using cuffdiff to compare 2 samples using an annotation and that gives me the FPKMs for the genes in the annotation, but is there a way to do that per sample more easily?

Hi lpn,
Cufflinks outputs the FPKM results in the first step - the cufflinks step. Here is what the manual says:"Cufflinks produces three output files:
1) transcripts.gtf ......
2) isoforms.fpkm_tracking
This file contains the estimated isoform-level expression values in the generic FPKM Tracking Format. Note, however that as there is only one sample, the "q" format is not used.
3) genes.fpkm_tracking
This file contains the estimated gene-level expression values in the generic FPKM Tracking Format. Note, however that as there is only one sample, the "q" format is not used. "
Hope this helps.

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
