Hello Yang, Glad the problem was isolated - the mismatched chromosomes is definitely something to be fixed. The tools in 'Text Manipulation" can help. The tool "Change Case of selected columns" can change the case for you. Click on the pencil icon after running the tool to reassign the datatype correctly as needed.

Hi Jen:
Thank you for the prompt reply. RPKMs produced by cufflink look normal (from an assembled transcript file):

I checked the chromosome names and I realized that the BAM outputs use lower cases for "RNAME", eg. "chr1" while my gff3 file uses initial capital letters for "seqId", eg "Chr1". Could this be the problem? What is the fastest way to convert the capital C in my gff3 file to lower case?
Thank you very much Yang
