  • FPKM interpretation

    Hi all!

    I am analyzing differential isoform expression between some samples. I run Cuffdiff2 and i found the differentially expressed isoforms. I also calculated the porportion of the expression of each isoform compared to the expression of the gene (the sum of the expressions of all the isoforms of that gene). Now I need to better filter my results. I was thinking to focus on the highly expressed isoforms and on those with a relevant proportion, but I couldn't find a criteria to choose a cutoff based on the FPKM. When can I say that a gene or isoform is highly expressed? And how can I understand when a proportion is relevant? I would think that the relevance of the proportion depends also on the total expression, i.e an isoform which account for the 30% of an highly expressed gene might be not as relevant as an isoform which account for the 30% of a low expressed gene, am i correct?
    I had a look to related posts in this forum and to several articles but i couldn't find a clear guidline. Maybe the answer is not simple but if you could suggest me some statistical approach to analyze these data would be great.
    Thanks in advance!

    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.
