  • Cuffdiff output problem, missing samples

    Hello all.

    I am currently analyzing some RNA-seq data that we have in our lab, using the tuxedo pipeline.
    We are analyzing two biological conditions, where one can be considered normal and the other the "case". We have RNA-seq data from 2 normal samples and 3 case samples. Two of the samples were done in an initial sequencing run, and the remaining three where sequenced in a later run.

    I have used Tophat v.2.0.3, and Bowtie 0.12.8 to map the sequences to hg19.
    When inspecting the mappings using IGV all seem ok.
    Further i ran cuffdiff (v.2.0.0) using the accepted_hits.bam as input, testing all samples against each other using the following command:

    cuffdiff --no-update-check --multi-read-correct -q -p 12 --frag-bias-correct $GENOME -M $MASK $REFERENCE /path/n1/accepted_hits.bam /path/n2/accepted_hits.bam /path/c1/accepted_hits.bam /path/c2/accepted_hits.bam /path/c3/accepted_hits.bam

    Here the Genome is the path for the genome.fa from hg19.
    the mask is a .GTF file of rRNA and mtRNAs, and the Reference is a .GTF hg19 file.

    Looking at the output with sample names q1, q2, q3, q4, q5. Only q1, q3 and q4 seems to have successfully been used in cuffdiff differential tests. With values for q2 and q5 always being 0. Also when using cummeRbund and making a boxplot of all genes, q2 and q5 does not have any, while the other three samples show nice boxplots..

    I have tried to look for errors in the mapping, but the mappings look nice when inspecting in IGV. Also, when running Cufflinks for each individual sample, they get nice FPKM values.
    the two samples that gets no results from Cuffdiff are 2/3 of the second sequencing run...

    I have also tried to run cuffdiff comparing only the two samples in question, and they still get 0 for each value (even though cuffdiff reports no errors).

    Should i try and map it again using Tophat, or does anyone have any idea what is wrong??

    The same commands have been used for all 5 samples, so I don´t see what is wrong with these two..

    I get similar problems. I have 8 samples, aligned with TopHat 2.0.0, and then run cufflinks (the version is 2.0), cuffmerge, and cuffdiff. 6 samples get FPKM value, but 2 of them, there are more than 60% genes, the corresponding FPKM value equals 0.

      I was getting the same thing. It looks like it has just been corrected in the latest version...

        Just try cufflinks 2.0.1

          I ran the analysis again using cufflinks/2.0.1 as you suggested, and it sure did work.
          Thanks for the replies!

              Advanced Tools Transforming the Field of Cytogenomics
              by seqadmin


              At the intersection of cytogenetics and genomics lies the exciting field of cytogenomics. It focuses on studying chromosomes at a molecular scale, involving techniques that analyze either the whole genome or particular DNA sequences to examine variations in structure and behavior at the chromosomal or subchromosomal level. By integrating cytogenetic techniques with genomic analysis, researchers can effectively investigate chromosomal abnormalities related to diseases, particularly...

              How RNA-Seq is Transforming Cancer Studies
              by seqadmin



              Cancer research has been transformed through numerous molecular techniques, with RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) playing a crucial role in understanding the complexity of the disease. Maša Ivin, Ph.D., Scientific Writer at Lexogen, and Yvonne Goepel Ph.D., Product Manager at Lexogen, remarked that “The high-throughput nature of RNA-seq allows for rapid profiling and deep exploration of the transcriptome.” They emphasized its indispensable role in cancer research, aiding in biomarker...

              Methods for Investigating the Transcriptome
              by seqadmin




              Ribonucleic acid (RNA) represents a range of diverse molecules that play a crucial role in many cellular processes. From serving as a protein template to regulating genes, the complex processes involving RNA make it a focal point of study for many scientists. This article will spotlight various methods scientists have developed to investigate different RNA subtypes and the broader transcriptome.
