Hey All
I have analysed some RNA-Seq data for a mouse genome with both Cufflinks/Cuffdiff version 2.0 and 2.1 and get quite different results. I understand that there has been a major change for Cuffdiff between versions but the number of significant results identified in version 2.1 is quite striking, e.g version 2.0: 17 statistically (q) differential genes and version 2.1: 171 statistically (q) differential genes.
I was wondering if this level of difference was expected and/or if anybody else has experienced similar differences between Cuffdiff versions?
(I have posted a similar message on the tuxedo-tools Google group as well)
Kind regards
Tom
Additional info:
All genes significant (q) identified in version 2.0 were identified in 2.1.
The study is comparing wild type mice to a known ENU induced mutant. 4 replicates were used for both wild type and mutant.
Significantly expressed (q):
v2.0 -> genes: 17 isoforms: 0 splicing: 90
v2.1 -> genes: 171 isoforms: 78 splicing: 12
Diff expressed genes (p adjusted) using edgeR: 22
Diff expressed genes (p adjusted) using DESeq: 1
Commands used when comparing Cuffdiff versions:
/cufflinks-2.1.1.Linux_x86_64/cuffdiff -o /NGS/users/Thomas /Cufflinks_2.1.1/ -L WT,MUT -p 15 -c 0 --library-type=fr-unstranded <files>
/cufflinks-2.0.2.Linux_x86_64/cuffdiff -o /NGS/users/Thomas/Cufflinks_2.0.2/ -L WT,MUT -p 15 -c 0 --library-type=fr-unstranded <files>

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
