Cuffmerge merges together several assemblies. It also handles running Cuffcompare for you and automatically filters a number of transfrags that are probably artifacts. If you have a reference file available, you can provide it to Cuffmerge in order to gracefully merge input (e.g. novel) isoforms and known isoforms and maximize overall assembly quality.
Element type: cuffmerge
Parameters
Parameter | Description | Default value | Parameter in Workflow File | Type |
---|---|---|---|---|
Output directory | Directory to save MACS output files. | out-dir | string | |
Reference annotation | Merge the input assemblies together with this reference annotation. | ref-annotation | string | |
Reference sequence | The genomic DNA sequences for the reference. It is used to assist in classifying transfrags and excluding artifacts (e.g. repeats). For example, transcripts consisting mostly of lower-case bases are classified as repeats. | ref-seq | string | |
Minimum isoform fraction | Discard isoforms with abundance below this. | 0.05 | min-isoform-fraction | numeric |
Cuffcompare tool path | The path to the Cuffcompare external tool in UGENE. | default | cuffcompare-tool-path | string |
Cuffmerge tool path | The path to the Cuffmerge external tool in UGENE. | default | path | string |
Temporary directory | The directory for temporary files. | default | tmp-dir | string |
