cuffdiff long noncoding annotation vs full annotation

I'm studying differential expression of long non coding RNA. Should I run cuffdiff using the gencode annotation file with all transcripts, and then filter out lncRNA data, or run cuffdiff with annotation of only long noncoding RNAs? If I use full transcripts annotation, FPKM values are much lower than that with only lncRNA transcripts. I prefer to use lncRNA annotation because it gives about ten times more significant transcripts.

You should align the clean reads to reference genome with the lncRNA gtf, then you can run cuffdiff using the lncRNA gtf
