This tool merges transcript assemblies with Cuffmerge.
Given several transcript GTF files obtained by Cufflinks, Cuffmerge merges them into one. The merged GTF file can be used in differential expression analysis with Cuffdiff.
The analysis output consists of the following:
This tool uses the Cufflinks package for statistical analysis. Please read the following article for more detailed information:
