STAR,HTseq-DEseq2/edgeR for DE,SNPs etc

I have RNAseq paired end illumina reads from 6 control and 6 treatment samples, I would like to validate DE results I got from this pipeline: Bowtie-Tophat-cufflinks-cuffmerge-cuffquant-cuffdiff-cummeRbund. Eventually do other analysis like SNP calling etc.

Any recommendation on the above stated set or any other ideas to validate the results

Thanks.

Using STAR and DESeq2 would allow you to determine which results are program specific, but I would in no way consider this to be validation. I would encourage you to validate candidates in additional samples with qPCR or similar.

Thanks Ryan!
