  • Cufflinks doesn't recognize read type

    Hello.
    I used Cufflinks to process data from tophat.
    My data come from Illumina and are pair-end type.

    I type following command:
    Code:
    /path/cufflinks tophat_out/accepted_hits.bam -o cuff_out

    Unfortunately Cufflinks recognize that data as single-end and lenght 0!

    Code:
    [13:40:01] Inspecting reads and determining fragment length distribution.
    Processed 204293 loci.
    Map Properties:
           Total Map Mass: 5928337.99
           [B]Read Type: 0bp single-end[/B]
           Fragment Length Distribution: Truncated Gaussian (default)
                         Default Mean: 200
                      Default Std Dev: 80
    [13:52:49] Assembling transcripts and estimating abundances.
    Processed 204293 loci.
    Is it necesarry to use some more option to correct run Cufflinks on pair-end data?

    What do your sequence headers look like and how are your files split up, if at all? I've run into this problem before, and it just required getting the formatting right.

      Do you think about header of bam file?
      I obtained 28 fastq files from Casava - 14 right-end (R1) 14 left-end (R2).
      I have processed them by tophat.

        Are you sure tophat used them as paired and not singled? How do the ends of your sequence headers look in the fastq format? If they come out with:

        @XXXX 1:N:0 @XXXX 2:N:0
        AGC.. GCT
        +XXXX 1:N:0 +XXXX 1:N:0
        .... .....

        a lot of programs won't recognize that as paired end files. You need to convert it to:

        @XXXX/1 @XXXX/2
        AGC.. GCT
        +XXXX/1 +XXXX/2
        .... .....

        I came on here with the same kinds of issues and a friendly commenter made this post to help people like me out:

        One unfortunate drawback of working with Illumina sequences is the many changes to the format of their fastq readfiles. The quality scoring has been changed several times since the first Solexa rea…

          I've tested cufflinks processing on other data and then cufflinks recognised them correctly as 57bp x 57bp.
          Hence I know that there is the mistake at tophat processing fastq files level.

          I know that is necessary to all sequences R1 and R2 (pair-end) be typed in the same order, so I used following command:

          Code:
          tophat /path/to/genome $(printf "%s," ./*.gz | sed 's/,$/\n/')
          Do you think that way type args (fastq files) is incorect?

            Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
            by seqadmin


            Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...

            Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
            by seqadmin


            Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
