Hi everyone
I assembled my RNA_seq data using tophat and cufflinks. But the assemble result seems strange. The length of exons were very short and most time, one transcript only contains one exon. I ran tophat and cufflinks using the default parameters, did I do something wrong? Here is some examples:
chr1 Cufflinks exon 1374518 1374621 1000 . . gene_id "CUFF.1"; transcript_id "CUFF.1.1"; exon_number "1"; FPKM "901
.2568132303"; frac "1.000000"; conf_lo "0.000000"; conf_hi "2373.585808"; cov "0.389115";
chr1 Cufflinks transcript 2986172 2986198 1000 . . gene_id "CUFF.3"; transcript_id "CUFF.3.1"; FPKM "6948.5151239
471"; frac "1.000000"; conf_lo "0.000000"; conf_hi "14971.969279"; cov "3.000000";
chr1 Cufflinks exon 2986172 2986198 1000 . . gene_id "CUFF.3"; transcript_id "CUFF.3.1"; exon_number "1"; FPKM "694
8.5151239471"; frac "1.000000"; conf_lo "0.000000"; conf_hi "14971.969279"; cov "3.000000";
do you have some idea about that?
thanks

Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.
The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
