What version of Cufflinks is your Galaxy installation running? A recent version (1.00 and 1.01) had a problem that was causing the splicing and promoter use tests to have very few differentially regulated genes, according to http://cufflinks.cbcb.umd.edu/.

Hi there,
Looking at the output of the SplicingDiff files of CuffDiff, me and my colleagues are preplexed about the output of the p_values and q_values. We've tried different inputs of different samples to compare but never seem to manage to get p_values smaller than 0.50 and we keep getting higher than 1 q_values (also smaller which we expect) which we think is strange too.
The input files we use for the CuffDiff are the CuffCompare of a combined CuffCompare of a dataset, or the CuffCompare of just the two samples we want to analyse. For the samples input files we use the TopHat files respectively.
Could you please help us get meaningful results for the SplicingDiff files or help us understand the data?

Thanks in advance for your most appreciated help,
