    Splicing using cuffdiff

    Dear colleagues,

    Thanks for this source of information that is Seqanswers, and thanks to many experts that share their knowledge and time with us, the unexperienced.

    I adress you to ask for help about a topic, splicing variant detection, that has been addressed before. Although I feel not quite clearly.


    I am working with a splicing mutant in Arabidopsis, and I have the same common problem that other users have reported with cuffdiff
    My issue is that I cannot get cuffdiff v2.1.1 to perform the splicing tests, even afters etting the --min-reps-for-js-test option
    I have RNAseq samples for 2 controls and 3 mutants, but either if I run 2controls VS 3mutants or 2controls VS 2mutants cuffdiff give and empty splicing.diff file.
    I do get the isoform_exp.diff file. Although is very probable that such file does not contain all the information since it uses the isoforms reported in wt and my mutant would have abnormal ones


    My pipeline is as follows:
    so far I have managed to perform
    Map with Tophat -> count with HTseq -> DEseq (gene expression differences detected)
    Map with Tophat -> cufflinks -> cuffmerge -> ASTALAVISTA (abnormal splicing detected)

    Now I want to know wich genes are the ones affected in the alternative splicing.
    In addittion to that, it could be great if i can get some quantification too
    The plan is to do:

    Tophat -> cuffdiff -> cummeRbund ->SpliceR


    The choice of SpliceR is because it recognizes Intron retention as one of the splicing forms and IR is the main splicing event in Arabidopsis
    Other recommended tools are exon centered and perhaps not suitable for my needs
    DEXseq: exon centred
    DSGseq: exon centred
    flipflop: isoform prediction, gives genomic ranges output

    The commnad I have run so far is

    cuffdiff -o ./cuffdiff_output -p 8 --FDR 0.05 --min-reps-for-js-test 2 -L wt,mutant ~/path_to_genome/TAIR10.gff wt1.bam,wt2.bam mutant1.bam,mutant2.bam,mutant3.bam


    Any kind of help, hint or advice is greatly appreciated

    Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
    by SEQadmin2



    Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

    Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

    New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
    by SEQadmin2


    Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

    We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
