Hi !
It's the first time I use the Cufflinks tool and I need help.
I used the -g option (RABT assembly) to search novel genes and isoforms in a yeast annotated genome. The RNA-Seq data are Illumina 50 bp single-end oriented reads. I run Cufflinks with default parameters :
cufflinks -g file.gff reads.fastq.sorted.bam
The output seems correct, but I have a lot of genes with coverage=0, FPKM=0, FPKM_conf_lo=0 and FPKM_conf_hi not equal to 0 but with a very low value. I think that these genes are expressed, probably weakly expressed.
My question is: what parameters/options should I change in the cufflinks command to obtain non-zero values of coverage and FPKM ?
Thanks a lot for your answers.

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for proactive pathogen surveillance systems. As ongoing threats like avian influenza and newly emerging infections continue to pose risks, researchers are working to improve how quickly and accurately pathogens can be identified and tracked. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, two experts discussed how next-generation sequencing (NGS) and machine learning are shaping efforts to monitor viral variation and trace the origins of infectious...03-24-2025, 11:48 AM -
