  • Specificity in cuffcomare

    Hi Folks,
    cuffcompare is a tool in Cufflinks package which will compare the predicted transcripts with the reference annotation. Cuffcompare will produce two statistics, sensitivity and specificity in the exon, intron and transcript level.
    The definition of sensitivity and specificity are:
    specificity = TN/(TN+FP)
    sensitivity = TP/(TP+FN)
    But in the source code of cuffcompare.cpp, the specificity and sensitivity are defined as
    " fprintf(fout, "#--------------------| Sn | Sp | fSn | fSp \n");
    double sp=(100.0*(double)ps->baseTP)/(ps->baseTP+ps->baseFP);
    double sn=(100.0*(double)ps->baseTP)/(ps->baseTP+ps->baseFN);"
    The calculation of sensitivity is the same with the standard definition. But the calculation of specificity is different. According to this calculation, it should be precision or positive prediction value.

    If I'm wrong, can anyone correct me? Appreciate.

    Best,

    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...
