  • Cufflink's handling of reads

    I am using Cufflinks to analyze RNAseq data and comparing different samples.
    I run the programs with the following options:
    Code:
    cufflinks --num-threads 5 --GTF $ref_transcriptome --verbose --output-dir lane5/ $gene_name.lane5.bam >cufflinks.lane5.log 2>&1
    cuffcompare -o summary.stats -r $ref_transcriptome -V lane5/transcripts.gtf lane6/transcripts.gtf
    1) How does cufflink deal with reads only partially overlapping an exon (from a GTF file)?
    2) How are reads administered between overlapping genes with overlapping exons (the RNA data are unstranded)?
    3) If a read is only partially overlapping with the exon, will that part contribute to the FPKM value?
    4) How is the minimum number of reads needed in a transcript to produce an FPKM value controlled? I can often visually se reads overlapping a transcript in my GTF file, but still giving scores of zero in the transcripts.expr
    Thanks!

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    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...
