  • cufflinks 1.0.3 missing FPKMs

    I am using tophat 1.3.0 and cufflinks 1.0.3 with -g (GTF guided) option and -u (allocate multi-reads). I am seeing a number of genes in all my samples (45 samples) that have reads aligned to them using tophat, but do not show up in the genes.fpkm_tracking result file from cufflinks. It seems to be a similar set of (~14,000) genes in all the samples that are missing, and they range all over the spectrum of read counts.

    We noticed this because 3 genes of interest to the researcher were missing from the results, but they were present with FPKMs at reasonable levels when we did the analysis previously (with older versions of everything).

    Do you have any suggestions for me as I try to troubleshoot this problem?

    Right now, I'm trying cufflinks using a gff file (instead of gtf) and trying an older version of cufflinks to verify that recovers the genes. My gtf file has one 4 megabase long intron I found using cufflinks gffread, but I assume that wouldn't cause this type of problem.

    I also emailed this to [email protected], so I'll post back if I get an answer.

    Prompt response from [email protected], I sent them a slice of my sam file and my gtf file.

    Code:
    samtools view alignment.bam | awk '{if ($3=="chr7" && $4 > (105291869-2000) && $4 < (105293957+2000)) print}' > slice.sam

      Turns out my genes were missing because they were part of new novel transcripts with names like "CUFF.20763".

      So maybe I'll just run once with -G to get the known genes and once without a reference.

      My fault, but good to know.

        it should -g not -G by cufflinks' manual.

          Understanding Genetic Influence on Infectious Disease
          by seqadmin




          During the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists observed that while some individuals experienced severe illness when infected with SARS-CoV-2, others were barely affected. These disparities left researchers and clinicians wondering what causes the wide variations in response to viral infections and what role genetics plays.

          Jean-Laurent Casanova, M.D., Ph.D., Professor at Rockefeller University, is a leading expert in this crossover between genetics and infectious...

          Addressing Off-Target Effects in CRISPR Technologies
          by seqadmin






          The first FDA-approved CRISPR-based therapy marked the transition of therapeutic gene editing from a dream to reality1. CRISPR technologies have streamlined gene editing, and CRISPR screens have become an important approach for identifying genes involved in disease processes2. This technique introduces targeted mutations across numerous genes, enabling large-scale identification of gene functions, interactions, and pathways3. Identifying the full range...
