CoGe can generate gene/transcript expression measurements given a FASTQ input and an annotated genome. Thanks to James Schable for help developing this pipeline!

When a FASTQ file of sequence reads is loaded in LoadExperiment and associated with an annotated genome, the following analysis steps are performed:

  1. The FASTQ file is verified for correct format.
  2. CutAdapt is run to trim adapter sequence from the reads (parameters: -q 25 --quality-base=64 -m 17).
  3. GMAP is run to index the reference genome sequence.
  4. GSNAP is run to align the reads to the reference sequence (parameters: --nthreads=32 -n 5 --format=sam -Q --gmap-mode=none --nofails).
  5. SAMtools is run to compute per-position read depth of the resulting alignment (mpileup -D -Q 20).
  6. Cufflinks is run to compte per-transcript FPKM (parameters: -p 24).
  7. The per-position read depth and per-transcript FPKM values are log transformed and normalized between 0 and 1 for loading.
  8. The three results (raw alignment, per-position read depth, and per-transcript FPKM) are loaded as separate Experiments into a Notebook.

Genomes for which this analysis has been performed can have features imported into qTeller. TBD: how to do this ...
