Dear All,
I am using TopHat and Cufflinks to look at RNA seq data from 4 lanes on paired end data. After running cuffcompare, most (~95%) of my FPKM values are zero in the transcript.tmap files, even though the confidence intervals are not:

Cuffcompare was run like this:

Using cufflinks-0.8.1, tophat-1.0.12, bowtie-0.12.1. The reference GTF file was collected from ensembl and reformatted (added "chr", removed all lines except exons).
The transcripts.gtf files all have FPKM values.
Any idea of what could have gone wrong?
Thank you,
