Hi,
I am trying to identify differentially expressed lncRNAs in tumor samples (18 replicates) compared to control samples (3 replicates). The same library prep kit is used for all samples; however, 10 samples have 100 bp paired-end reads and others 150 bp pe reads.
I am planning to use Cutadapt tool to trim the 150 bp reads to 100 bp. And after trimming, I am planning to use "Tophat>Cufflinks (with Gencode lncRNA annotation>Cuffmerge>Cuffdiff " pipeline.
I know that Cufflinks tool is deprecated. I’d like to improve my pipeline. Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Best,
Deniz
