question on cufflinks output
Dear Galaxy team and users, I have a question on the output by cufflinks on Galaxy. I started with about 28M paired-end reads and mapped them to the reference genome using Tophat on Galaxy. The aligned fragments were assembled by cufflinks, again on Galaxy and I got an output with the first few lines on the bottom of this email. I was wondering how could cufflinks possibly estimate FPKM on the order of e+07 when the coverage is between 8-50 fragments per base and the total mapped fragments smaller than 28M. Assuming that 20M fragments were mapped, the FPKM should be something around coverage/28. Was the e in the output the Euler's number or 10? I appreciate your help.

Hello Wen, It's not necessary to send multiple emails to the mailing list; we track incoming emails to ensure that we respond to all of them. Your FPKM values do look high, but keep in mind that coverage is only part of the FPKM calculation; it's also dependent on transcript length and the total number of reads in your sample. Your transcript lengths look very short, so that may be skewing your FPKM values. For the record, Cufflinks is using scientific/E notation, so e denotes powers of 10 in the FPKM output. A good place to ask followup questions about cufflinks output is the cufflinks help email address: tophat.cufflinks@gmail.com Good luck, J. On Jun 24, 2011, at 10:35 AM, Wen Huang wrote:

Hello, The error is indicating that the end of your dataset is larger than the chromosome it is aligned to for this line (at least). This is expected when attempting display of certain data types at UCSC. This is a known issue. You can either remove these lines from your dataset with tools in Text Manipulation, download the data & trim coordinates using unix tools you design or obtain from UCSC, or best: view in Trackster ("Visualization"). Hopefully one of these solution will work for you, Best, Jen Galaxy team ps: For next time, it would be very helpful for us if you would start over in a completely fresh/new thread email when starting another discussion topic, to help us track and answer the most effectively. Thanks! On 6/27/11 9:48 AM, YBao wrote:
