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>

Differential Expression and Data Visualization: Recommended Tools for Next-Level Sequencing Analysis
After covering QC and alignment tools in the first segment and variant analysis and genome assembly in the second segment, we’re wrapping up with a discussion about tools for differential gene expression analysis and data visualization. In this article, we include recommendations from the following experts: Dr. Mark Ziemann, Senior Lecturer in Biotechnology and Bioinformatics, Deakin University; Dr. Medhat Mahmoud Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Baylor College of Medicine;...05-23-2023, 12:26 PM -
Continuing from our previous article, we share variant analysis and genome assembly tools recommended by our experts Dr. Medhat Mahmoud, Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Baylor College of Medicine, and Dr. Ming "Tommy" Tang, Director of Computational Biology at Immunitas and author of From Cell Line to Command Line.

With new tools and computational resources being released regularly, it can be hard to determine which are best suited for the analysis process and which older tools continue to be maintained. In an effort to assist the sequencing community, we interviewed three highly skilled bioinformaticians about their recommended tools for several important analysis applications.
