ib,
Look at the status column. I suspect that for this example you given
the status is HiData. Cuffdiff considers the expression are very high
and no statistic testing would have been done for the gene. fpkm 2=0
could be misleading, as it may not be actually 0. I have encountered in
a data set where several genes are expected to be highly expressed in
all samples, but one of the fpkm values were all given as 0. Hope this
helps.

Dear forum,
whoever knows this please tell me!!!!!
Given two fpkm . e.g. fpkm 1=2922828 and fpkm 2=0, why cuffdiff does
not calculate differential expression. those genes are listed in
cuffdiff as not significant and the log2 fold change is infinite ,
either negative or positve...how do i consider them when i want to
pull out the genes that are differentially expressed between treated
and untreated samples?
how do i interpret these data?
thanks,
ib
