i also used cuffcmp.combined.gtf file in that, i used .gff file then reference fasta file and my cufflink output transcripts.gtf file but it also give same result, in gene column it is like "-" .i tried a lot. thanks for your reply.
i have some problem related to cuffidiff output, i used this command for replicates:
cuffdiff -o diff_out -b genome/genome.fa -p 10 -L CT,SS --total-hits-norm -u cuffmerge_experiment/merged.gtf tophat_exp/tophat_exp1/accepted_hits.bam,tophat_exp/tophat_exp2/accepted_hits.bam tophat_exp/tophat_exp3/accepted_hits.bam,tophat_exp/tophat_exp4/accepted_hits.bam
in my output file i found gene column is empty:
TCONS_00000001 XLOC_000001 - C11044824:403-1007 CT SS OK 4.25634 4.05292 -0.0706522 0.148488 0.881958 0.999985 no

i cant understand how can be its possible, if any one have suggestion please guide me.
upto cuffmerge i found gene in my file like this:
C11111420 Cufflinks exon 726 1304 . - . gene_id "XLOC_000033"; transcript_id "TCONS_00000034"; exon_number "1"; oId "Ca_28192"; nearest_ref "Ca_28192"; class_code "="; tss_id "TSS33"; p_id "P11";

so how can be its possible that i didn't find in cuffdiff output. please contact on my email address thakkar.bjl@gmail.com

It seems that you don't use a reference GFF/GTF file containing known transcripts and gene names.
You should use a gff/gtf file ( for example the genes.gtf file in one of the archives here http://tophat.cbcb.umd.edu/igenomes.shtml ) in the cuffcompare step:
cuffcompare -r genes.gtf <input1.gtf> [<input2.gtf> .. <inputN.gtf>]}
It produces a cuffcmp.combined.gtf file that you can use in the cuffdiff step.
my gff file look like this.
Ca8 GLEAN mRNA 37786 42033 0.760266 - . ID=Ca_11937;evid_id=GAR_10012294;
Ca8 GLEAN CDS 41914 42033 . - 0 Parent=Ca_11937;
Ca8 GLEAN CDS 41781 41843 . - 0 Parent=Ca_11937;
Ca8 GLEAN CDS 41556 41690 . - 0 Parent=Ca_11937;
Ca8 GLEAN CDS 41300 41473 . - 0 Parent=Ca_11937;
Ca8 GLEAN CDS 41118 41222 . - 0 Parent=Ca_11937;
Ca8 GLEAN CDS 40879 40912 . - 0 Parent=Ca_11937;
Your gtf file seems to be automatically generated by a gene prediction program. So it does not contain any gene annotation (such as gene name, gene id, etc. )
