  • cuffdiff for groups

    I want run cuffdiff for two groups. each has 3 samples. Is the below code right?

    cuffdiff -o diff_out -b ../genome/ce10.fa -p 2 -L em,la -u merged_asm/merged.gtf cond1.bam1,cond1.bam2,cond1.bam3 cond1.bam1,cond1.bam2,cond1.bam3

    No. That is not correct.

    -L has to be a comma separated list of condition labels.

    -L cond1,cond2 (e.g. -L Control,Mutant)

    Your list of bam files (comma delimited names no spaces, then two conditions separated by a space) will be. e.g. cond1.bam1,cond1.bam2,cond1.bam3 (space here) cond2.bam1,cond2.bam2,cond2.bam3

      You missed it. please, see it after 3rd bam file I haven't given any comma. And it is separated with space too.

        The -L option you have used in your command is not two group names for three samples in each group.

        ", ../tophat/la/SRR493365_thout/accepted_hits.bam " It also looks like there is a space between , and the .. but that may be an illusion in the way the browser is displaying it.

          Aside from your syntax problems, you have a more serious issue in that you're not specifying the actual experiment correctly. SRR493359, SRR493360 and SRR493361 are from the same sample and should just be merged together into a single BAM file. Similarly SRR493363, SRR493364 and SRR493365 are from the same sample. So, you actually have a 1 vs. 1 sample comparison. Do NOT lump each of the files for each sample into a group, since then you're making fake replicates and will have largely meaningless results (of course, you're doing a 1 vs. 1 comparison, so the results aren't exactly robust to begin with).

            ok. now the below code looks fine I guess

            cuffdiff -o diff_out4 -b ../genome/ce10.fa -p 2 -L SRR493359,SRR493360,SRR493361,SRR493363,SRR493364,SRR493365 -u merged_asm/merged.gtf ../tophat/em/SRR493359_thout/accepted_hits.bam,../tophat/em/SRR493360_thout/accepted_hits.bam,../tophat/em/SRR493361_thout/accepted_hits.bam ../tophat/la/SRR493363_thout/accepted_hits.bam,../tophat/la/SRR493364_thout/accepted_hits.bam,../tophat/la/SRR493365_thout/accepted_hits.bam

              No, it's not. You're making two groups with the BAM files and are giving those two groups 6 labels rather than 2. "-L larval,early" would make more sense, though see my earlier reply.

                so you say that it should look like this:

                cuffdiff -o diff_out4 -b ../genome/ce10.fa -p 2 -L SRR493359,SRR493360,SRR493361,SRR493363,SRR493364,SRR493365 -u merged_asm/merged.gtf ../tophat/em/SRR493359_60_61_thout/accepted_hits.bam ../tophat/em/SRR493363_64_65_thout/accepted_hits.bam

                SRR493359_60_61_thout which has merged bam file of 59,60 and 61
                SRR493363_64_65_thout which has merged bam file of 63,64 and 65

                  Arrange the labels (larval/early) according to their correspondence with the BAM files.

                  Code:
                  cuffdiff -o diff_out4 -b ../genome/ce10.fa -p 2 -L larval,early -u merged_asm/merged.gtf ../tophat/em/SRR493359_60_61_thout/accepted_hits.bam ../tophat/em/SRR493363_64_65_thout/accepted_hits.bam

                        As you said If I run the following command

                        cuffdiff -o diff_out4 -b ../genome/ce10.fa -p 2 -L larval,early -u merged_asm/merged.gtf ../tophat/em/SRR493359_60_61_thout/accepted_hits.bam ../tophat/em/SRR493363_64_65_thout/accepted_hits.bam

                        Now, If I want to find the expression levels for each sample I guess it is not possible, cz of the merged bam file.

                        Is it possible to give labels as larval,early and giving bam files of 6 samples. Will this work?

                        for eg:

                        cuffdiff -o diff_out4 -b ../genome/ce10.fa -p 2 -L embryo,larva -u merged_asm/merged.gtf ../tophat/em/SRR493359_thout/accepted_hits.bam,../tophat/em/SRR493360_thout/accepted_hits.bam,../tophat/em/SRR493361_thout/accepted_hits.bam ../tophat/la/SRR493363_thout/accepted_hits.bam,../tophat/la/SRR493364_thout/accepted_hits.bam,../tophat/la/SRR493365_thout/accepted_hits.bam

                          You only have 2 samples anyway. Any sort of metric you'd get from each of the subfiles isn't terribly meaningful unless you're interested in looking at technical variance.

                              Technically cuffdiff command as outlined above will work. But Devon has already warned you about the consequence in post #5.

                                Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
