    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

    Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
    by SEQadmin2



    Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

    Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

    New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
    by SEQadmin2


    Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

    We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
