  • Suspicious results from CuffDiff

    Hey folks
    I'm running CuffDiff from the release 0.9.2, for RNAseq. I use it with tophat, and Reference annotation for human data. Here's the simple running command:


    Code:
    cuffdiff --FDR 0.01 -N hg18_annotation01.gtf accepted_hits1.bam accepted_hits2.bam

    There are few points of concern

    first: over 90% of the genes with "status = OK" have "Significant = yes" which is kinda not so nice.

    second: that there are so many genes with very low FPKM that are among the significant ones, which can also lead to fold changes like: 1.7977e+308 !

    and third: There are genes with large FPKMs that have not been tested (status = NOTEST) , here's some sample, from the file "genes_expr.diff", with a "NOTEST gene with hight FPKM, and two low FPKM genes with test status "OK":


    Code:
    ttest_id	status	value_1	value_2	ln(fold_change)	test_stat	p_value	significant
    NR_036659	NOTEST	1119.85	6601.74	1.774 		-54.911 	0	no
    NM_001130440	OK	5.6E-09	5.7E-09	0.030 		-1.744 		0.081	no
    NM_001001977	OK	9.7E-09	1.2E-08	0.227	 	-18.416 	0	yes
    Does somebody have some idea? :-/

    thanks

    Hi Pejman,

    Any progress with the fact that so many of the genes with "status = OK" have "Significant = yes"? Kind of seeing the same thing.

      Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
      by seqadmin


      The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...

      Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
      by seqadmin




      The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...
