Cufflinks requires an 'xs' tag on each read in the bam file. Only tophat does this. You can write a script to add this or remap with tophat. 

How much of a difference do you see between tophat and bioscope?

Hi:
I use the solid PE sequencing data and mapped with the bioscope tools(AB company supported) ,which is better for solid data mapping ,so I don't use the bowtie to map . Igain the BAM file! Now ,I want use the cufflinks to calculate the gene expression. But there is a error.

I have sorted the bam file and the gtf file.
cufflinks  -G refGene_hg18.gtf -p 3 -r  human_hg18.fa -o test  test.pe.bam 
(the version of cufflinks is v0.9.2 ) 
    Who know the reason ,and what shoud I do!
best wishes!
