    Why can't cuffdiff identify splicing difference

    I made simulation RNA-Seq data of one gene by FLUX. This gene has two isoforms. The ratio of the isoforms in the first sample is 0:100, while in the second sample 100:0. I ran the cufflinks, cuffcompare and cuffdiff, but the "splicing.diff" produced by cuffdiff showed that no significant splicing were found. But according to the "isoform_exp.diff", the FPKM of these two isoforms vary a lot in two samples. Why is the "test_stat" so small and why can't cuffdiff identify the splicing difference of this gene?

    The content of splicing.diff is as follows:
    test_id gene_id gene locus sample_1 sample_2 status value_1 value_2 sqrt(JS) test_stat p_value q_value significant
    TSS1 XLOC_000001 A1_2_6 chr:4900-11900 test1 test2 OK 0 0 0.746756 2.07E-73 1 1 no

    The content of isoform_exp.diff is as follows:
    test_id gene_id gene locus sample_1 sample_2 status value_1 value_2 ln(fold_change) test_stat p_value q_value significant
    TCONS_00000001 XLOC_000001 A1_2_6 chr:4900-11900 test1 test2 OK 261123 633.471 -6.02153 5.62055 1.90E-08 3.81E-08 yes
    TCONS_00000002 XLOC_000001 A1_2_6 chr:4900-11900 test1 test2 OK 19398.3 300439 2.74006 -4.17333 3.00E-05 3.00E-05 yes

    Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
    by GATTACAT
    Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

    Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
    by SEQadmin2


    I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

    Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

    From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
    by SEQadmin2


    Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


    The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
