before, but I can't find an answer in the Galaxy-user or Seq-answers
archives.
My question is, if I use the public Galaxy server interface to TopHat
and
Cufflinks, is there any access to "cuffmerge"?
Also, I'm trying to understand the difference between using cuffmerge
and
then using cuffcompare (without a reference genome) to assemble gtf
transcript files produced by Cufflinks for each group of 3 Illumina
paired-end reads corresponding to biological replicates, in order to
use the
resulting combined gtf file for comparing the TopHat alignments of two
such
groups using cuffdiff.
Is there any difference in the output between cuffdiff and
cuffcompare,
using in this fashion? For example, do they form the "union" of
transcripts
by the same rules, and do their outputs contain (or lack) the same
columns
(strand, perhaps??) I've read things on seq-answers indicating that I
should be using cuffmerge, but I can't find it on the public server
and
apparently haven't installed it properly on my own computer so far.
