tophat error

[licensed2skill84]

Hi all,
First post here. I am trying to familiarize myself with tophat, so I'm trying to use some test data. I'm getting the following error.

I have the same error. Any ideas what's the problem?

Hi. For whatever reason, converting the .sra file to .fastq with fastq-dump on our research cluster resulted in a corrupted fastq file. When I ran fastq-dump on my laptop, then transferred the resulting fastq file back to the cluster, all downstream analysis proceeded error free. Hope this helps.

We've had a few problems with fastq dump producing corrupted files whilst generating no errors. It's really important to check that you're using the latest version of the NCBI toolkit as some older versions seemed to have some nasty bugs in them.

I got the same problem.
Do you fix this problem now?

I had this issue, I think it was a corrupted file issue.

My file was concatenated from multiple fastq files (all which ran individually no problem). When I redid the concatenation it worked fine.
