Cuff gene and transcript IDs

06-02-2012, 04:04 PM

I'm new to RNA seq and I hope someone can give me some general insight into my cuffcompare output.

My Question: Why are there are multiple cuff_gene_id and cuff_id per reference transcript? I'm trying to extract a single FPKM value per reference transcript, so I don't know how to treat multiple entries for a single gene. For example, my cuffcompare output contains multiple lines for Map4k4:

Map4k4 Map4k4 c CUFF.155 CUFF.155.1 100 569.106817 284.553408 853.660225 378.272059 91 CUFF.155.1 5782
Map4k4 Map4k4 c CUFF.156 CUFF.156.1 100 373909.473540 166501.815197 581317.131882 248528.926936 38 CUFF.156.1 5782
Map4k4 Map4k4 i CUFF.157 CUFF.157.1 100 870264.340261 319860.843931 1420667.836591 578444.457660 37 CUFF.157.1 5782
Map4k4 Map4k4 i CUFF.158 CUFF.158.1 100 870264.340261 319860.843931 1420667.836591 578444.457660 37 CUFF.158.1 5782

Are these individual fragments that have been mapped to Map4k4 with an associated FPKM? If so, is the FPKM for Map4k4 just the sum of individual entries? Sorry, I'm new...

Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival

by SEQadmin2

Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing

by GATTACAT

Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing

by SEQadmin2

I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
