  • A question about FPKM value in the Tophat/Cufflinks pipeline

    Hi, I am a new comer of the forum. I tried to find out the answer to a question about FPKM in the pipeline Tophat/Cufflinks but I failed. So I post the question here, hoping someone might give me some hints.

    Recently our lab did a RNA-seq studies on the transcriptome of plant. I successfully applied the Tophat/Cufflinks pipeline analysis to our RNA-seq data. I used Tophat v2.0.8 and Cufflinks v2.0.2. I followed the steps listed in the Nature Protocols paper of Trapnell exactly.

    I wanted to calculate the FPKM for each gene under different conditions. So I checked the genes.fpkm_tracking output of the cuffmerge and the genes.fpkm_trancking output of the cuffdiff (after cuffmerge command). However, I found out that the FPKM values in these two files differed (e.g., 4.94066e-324 vs. 31.2836).

    How could I interpret this result?

    Any advices are welcome. Thanks.
