Parameters in GUI

ParameterDescriptionDefault value
Output directoryDirectory to save MACS output files. 
Time series analysisIf set to True, instructs Cuffdiff to analyze the provided samples as a time series, rather than testing for differences between all pairs of samples. Samples should be provided in increasing time order.False
Upper quartile normIf set to True, normalizes by the upper quartile of the number of fragments mapping to individual loci instead of the total number of sequenced fragments. This can improve robustness of differential expression calls for less abundant genes and transcripts.False 
Hits norm Instructs how to count all fragments. Total specifies to count all fragments, including those not compatible with any reference transcript, towards the number of mapped fragments used in the FPKM denominator. Compatible specifies to use only compatible fragments. Selecting Compatible is generally recommended in Cuffdiff to reduce certain types of bias caused by differential amounts of ribosomal reads which can create the impression of falsely differentially expressed genes..Compatible
Frag bias correctProviding the sequences your reads were mapped to instructs Cuffdiff to run bias detection and correction algorithm which can significantly improve accuracy of transcript abundance estimates.. 
Multi read correctDo an initial estimation procedure to more accurately weight reads mapping to multiple locations in the genome.False
Library typeSpecifies RNA-Seq protocol.Standard Illumina
Mask fileIgnore all reads that could have come from transcripts in this file. It is recommended to include any annotated rRNA, mitochondrial transcripts other abundant transcripts you wish to ignore in your analysis in this file. Due to variable efficiency of mRNA enrichment methods and rRNA depletion kits, masking these transcripts often improves the overall robustness of transcript abundance estimates.. 
Min alignment countThe minimum number of alignments in a locus for needed to conduct significance testing on changes in that locus observed between samples. If no testing is performed, changes in the locus are deemed not significant, and the locus' observed changes don't contribute to correction for multiple testing..10 
FDRThe allowed false discovery rate used in testing.0.05 
Max MLE iterationsSets the number of iterations allowed during maximum likelihood estimation of abundances.5000
Emit count tablesInclude information about the fragment counts, fragment count variances, and fitted variance model into the report.False
Cuffdiff tool pathThe path to the Cuffdiff external tool in UGENE.defaul
Temporary directoryThe directory for temporary files.default
