    Cufflinks, cuffmerge and strandedness

    I have a question, I am currently using cufflinks for multiple bam to generate .gtfs and cuffmerge on these to improve an already existing annotation (Brassica napus). I find, in several hundred instances, that I get the 'x' transcript code, which implies that exons overlap on the other strand. My data is not stranded. When I put this into genome browsers, I see the 'new transcript' is most likely an alternate transcript of the other genes. Anyway to prevent this from happening? Please see picture below.

    Top are my alignments, quite high coverage

    Bottom is the original annotation, above that is an additional transcript identified with code (x).

    Thanks for the help!

    Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
    by SEQadmin2


    I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

    Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

    From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
    by SEQadmin2


    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.
