    cuffdiff with reference gtf

    I have a question about cuffdiff using only a reference gtf annotation file. I am seeing that the gene start/stop in the output of cuffdiff does not always match the reference gtf that I provide. Here is an outline of what I am doing:

    -map reads using tophat2 to igenome UCSC mm9 fasta sequence with igenome UCSC mm9 gtf files from ftp.illumina.com/Mus_musculus/UCSC/mm9/Mus_musculus_UCSC_mm9.tar.gz
    -run cuffdiff 2.0.2 using igenome UCSC mm9 gtf file using a command like
    $cuffdir/cuffdiff -p 4 --upper-quartile-norm --multi-read-correct -M $rRNAgtf --frag-bias-correct $genome -o $datadir/cuffdiffRefConVsPrimed3 -L Control,Primed $gtfFile \
    $datadir/Control_7/tophat2_out/accepted_hitsSD.bam,$datadir/Control_11/tophat2_out/accepted_hitsSD.bam \
    $datadir/Primed_4/tophat2_out/accepted_hitsSD.bam,$datadir/Primed_9/tophat2_out/accepted_hitsSD.bam

    An example:
    grep 0610005C13Rik $gtfFile
    chr7 unknown exon 52823165 52823749 . - . gene_id "0610005C13Rik"; transcript_id "NR_038166"; gene_name "0610005C13Rik"; tss_id "TSS24565";
    chr7 unknown exon 52823165 52823749 . - . gene_id "0610005C13Rik"; transcript_id "NR_038165"; gene_name "0610005C13Rik"; tss_id "TSS24565";
    chr7 unknown exon 52826356 52826562 . - . gene_id "0610005C13Rik"; transcript_id "NR_038166"; gene_name "0610005C13Rik"; tss_id "TSS24565";
    chr7 unknown exon 52829783 52829892 . - . gene_id "0610005C13Rik"; transcript_id "NR_038166"; gene_name "0610005C13Rik"; tss_id "TSS24565";
    chr7 unknown exon 52829783 52829892 . - . gene_id "0610005C13Rik"; transcript_id "NR_038165"; gene_name "0610005C13Rik"; tss_id "TSS24565";
    chr7 unknown exon 52829978 52830147 . - . gene_id "0610005C13Rik"; transcript_id "NR_038166"; gene_name "0610005C13Rik"; tss_id "TSS24565";
    chr7 unknown exon 52829978 52830147 . - . gene_id "0610005C13Rik"; transcript_id "NR_038165"; gene_name "0610005C13Rik"; tss_id "TSS24565";
    chr7 unknown exon 52830497 52830546 . - . gene_id "0610005C13Rik"; transcript_id "NR_038166"; gene_name "0610005C13Rik"; tss_id "TSS24565";
    chr7 unknown exon 52830497 52830546 . - . gene_id "0610005C13Rik"; transcript_id "NR_038165"; gene_name "0610005C13Rik"; tss_id "TSS24565";

    grep 0610005C13Rik gene_exp.diff
    0610005C13Rik 0610005C13Rik 0610005C13Rik chr7:52823164-52845080 Control Primed NOTEST 0 0 0 0 1 1 no

    Note that one end 52823164 is correct (52823165 off by one due to end convention?), but the other end is not 52845080 vs. 52830546. Where did the size come from? It seems to be from the overlapping Bcat2 gene
    grep Bcat2 ../cuffdiffRefConVsPrimed2/gene_exp.diff
    Bcat2 Bcat2 Bcat2 chr7:52823164-52845080 Control Primed OK 42.9202 96.0403 1.16198 -0.909377 0.363151 0.999861 no
    Is the data for the two genes somehow separated out, and I don't need to worry about the strange start/end points?

    Thanks,

    Vince

    Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
    by SEQadmin2



    CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

    Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

    Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
    by SEQadmin2


    Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

    The systematic characterization of the human proteome has
