  • cummeRbund diffData() or fpkm() values

    I'm getting different FPKM values from diffData() and fpkm() on a couple of different isoform IDs

    Code:
    > diffData(getFeatures(cuff,"TCONS_00246566"))
          isoform_id   sample_1 sample_2  status value_1 value_2 log2_fold_change test_stat p_value q_value significant
    1 TCONS_00246566 macrophage monocyte LOWDATA       0       0    -1.79769e+308         0       1       1          no
    diffData() reports an fpkm of 0 for sample_2 (reported as "value_2")

    Code:
    > fpkm(getFeatures(cuff,"TCONS_00246566"))
          isoform_id sample_name      fpkm conf_hi conf_lo quant_status    stdev
    1 TCONS_00246566  macrophage 0.0000000  0.0000       0      LOWDATA  0.00000
    2 TCONS_00246566    monocyte 0.0972739 49.0851       0      LOWDATA 24.49391
    but fpkm() reports an fpkm of ~0.09 for sample_2

    I know that csHeatmap() uses fpkm() to extract values for plotting, but which is the most accurate value?

    I thought cuffdiff values (available from diffData()) were supposed to be the most accurate?

    Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
    by seqadmin




    The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...

    Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
    by seqadmin


    Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...
