    CuffDiff on different data type

    Hello,
    I'm working on some RNA-seq data using TopHat/Cufflinks tools.
    I need to compare a tissue (3 replicates for each of the 4 time points, paired end) with two other tissues (2 samples, single end, only one time point), is it possible to use CuffDiff?!
    I try to run it, but the differential splicing between the first tissue and the second (for example, "day0 tissue1" vs "sample1 tissue2" or "day0 tissue1" vs "sample2 tissue2") doesn't work, but I see a different splicing in expression bar plot in some genes.

    Thank you very much.

    please share your code and what did you mean by "doesn't work"?

      cuffdiff -o /CDout -b /Mus_musculus_UCSC_mm9/Mus_musculus/UCSC/mm9/Sequence/Bowtie2Index/genome.fa -p 30 -u /merged_asm/merged.gtf -L day0,day3,day6,day12,BH1,BH2 /dayo_R1/thout/accepted_hits.bam,/day0_R2/thout/accepted_hits.bam,/day0_R3/thout/accepted_hits.bam /day3_R1/thout/accepted_hits.bam,/day3_R2/thout/accepted_hits.bam,/day3_R3/thout/accepted_hits.bam /day6_R1/thout/accepted_hits.bam,/day6_R2/thout/accepted_hits.bam,/day6_R3/thout/accepted_hits.bam /day12_R1/thout/accepted_hits.bam,/day12_R2/thout/accepted_hits.bam,/day12_R3/thout/accepted_hits.bam /tissue2_Sample1/thout/accepted_hits.bam /tissue2_Sample2/thout/accepted_hits.bam
      This is the code of CuffDiff, from day0 to day 12 are data from a tissue and at the end there are two sample from a different tissue.
      My problem is that I need the different splicing between the tissues (but in tissue 1 must remain the time points) but the test fails (I check the splicing.diff file) when it calculates the JS distance between tissue 1 in a time points and each sample of tissue 2.
      Another thing: I can see the different splicing in expression bar plot when I consider some genes with more than one isoforms.

        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...

        From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
        by SEQadmin2


        Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


        The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
