  • 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.

          Non-Coding RNA Research and Technologies
          by seqadmin




          Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) do not code for proteins but play important roles in numerous cellular processes including gene silencing, developmental pathways, and more. There are numerous types including microRNA (miRNA), long ncRNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), and more. In this article, we discuss innovative ncRNA research and explore recent technological advancements that improve the study of ncRNAs.

          Recent Developments in Metagenomics
          by seqadmin





          Metagenomics has improved the way researchers study microorganisms across diverse environments. Historically, studying microorganisms relied on culturing them in the lab, a method that limits the investigation of many species since most are unculturable1. Metagenomics overcomes these issues by allowing the study of microorganisms regardless of their ability to be cultured or the environments they inhabit. Over time, the field has evolved, especially with the advent...
