    Strange density plot of log10(fpkm)

    Dear all,

    I am analyzing my 50bp paired-end RNA-seq using the Tophat - Cuffdiff - Cufflinks - cummeRbund pipeline.
    I seem to get very nice plots with most of my data, but for one specific tissue I get a strange density plot for the KO sample with just one peak (like a shoulder) instead of the usual shape I get being the case for Ctrl.

    Do you know what is causing this distribution and is it something I would have to worry about?

    The fastqc files pass the fastQC quality control.

    Thanks in advance. Appreciate all inputs!

    The KO and the Ctrl graphs look normal to me. The slight change in the peak shapes could be a result of slightly different levels of gene expression between the two samples.

      16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
      by SEQadmin2




      NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...

      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
