  • What does cufflinks compare BAM file to, without reference?

    Hello everybody!

    Main question: with a minimal syntax like this

    cufflinks -p 3 target.bam

    what does cufflinks use to assembly the information contained in target.bam file?

    I'd also like to know whether using a local reference (the fat 16GB+ files you can download from cufflinks website) cufflinks will name the transcripts with the gene names instead of CUFF.65279 and the like.

    I'm a wet biologist trying to learn some bioinformatics. I managed to use bwa and picard to process the raw Illumina reads and get to a .bam file, and now I'm trying to learn how get some DE data out of my samples, but I hadn't found any tutorial clear enough to explain what cufflinks is actually doing. This is also why my thoughts are hazy and my questions are -probably- not outstanding.

    Thank you for yuor help and support, as well as anyone who wrote some beautiful tutorials on SEQwiki.

    Update: I have managed to find some aid and comfort in a nicely written tutorial. If you're a newbie (like me), you don't know very well what you are doing (like me) and you're still awed by the magic behind cufflink/cuffdiff, you should try and read these:

      Quality Control Essentials for Next-Generation Sequencing Workflows
      by seqadmin




      Like all molecular biology applications, next-generation sequencing (NGS) workflows require diligent quality control (QC) measures to ensure accurate and reproducible results. Proper QC begins at nucleic acid extraction and continues all the way through to data analysis. This article outlines the key QC steps in an NGS workflow, along with the commonly used tools and techniques.
