  • Problems with TopHat v1.4.0

    Dear all I'm trying to use the last version of tophat (v1.4.0) by using the -GTF flag (the reads are mapped before on transcripts). What exactly I'm running is:

    ophat --output-dir=<$Output_dir> --mate-inner-dist=30 --mate-std-dev=20 --min-anchor-length=5 --num-threads=8 --closure-search --keep-tmp --GTF=<$transcriptome_file> --transcriptome-index=<$Out_index> <$Index_File> <$R1_Fast> <$R2_Fast>

    Obviously the $ items are replaced by the real names

    The programs seems to work for more than nine hours but after the point "Searching for junctions via segment mapping" it stopped with the following error:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/work/ahc/grassi/Shared_Programs/tophat-1.4.0/src/tophat", line 3063, in ?
    sys.exit(main())
    File "/work/ahc/grassi/Shared_Programs/tophat-1.4.0/src/tophat", line 3029, in main
    user_supplied_deletions)
    File "/work/ahc/grassi/Shared_Programs/tophat-1.4.0/src/tophat", line 2681, in spliced_alignment
    [maps[initial_reads[left_reads]].unspliced_bwt, maps[initial_reads[left_reads]].seg_maps[-1]],
    TypeError: list indices must be integers


    am I doing something wrong or alternatively it is a program problem?

    Thanks in advance

    A similar problem with TopHat

    I am having a similar problem aligning reads using TopHat (v1.4.1). Specificially, I am attempting to align ~62 million paired-end reads generated from an Illumina HiSeq2000 and processed using CASAVA 1.8. TopHat is run with the following options:

    tophat -o ./tophat_out -r 50 -a 6 -i 30 -I 15000 -p 4 --closure-search --coverage-search --microexon-search <index_base> <reads1_1[,...,readsN_1]> <[reads1_2,...readsN_2]>

    Please note: <index_base> is replaced by the location of the indexes; <reads1_1[,...,readsN_1]> is replaced with 16 .gz read1 files; and, <[reads1_2,...readsN_2]> is replaced with the matching 16 .gz read2 files in the same order. Both of these lists of read files are comma separated without spaces.

    This runs for about five hours and the following error is returned:

    Searching for junctions via segment mapping
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/local/tophat-1.4.1.Linux_x86_64/tophat", line 3063, in <module> sys.exit(main())
    File "/usr/local/tophat-1.4.1.Linux_x86_64/tophat", line 3029, in main user_supplied_deletions)
    File "/usr/local/tophat-1.4.1.Linux_x86_64/tophat", line 2682, in spliced_alignment
    [maps[initial_reads[left_reads]].unspliced_bwt, maps[initial_reads[left_reads]].seg_maps[-1]],
    TypeError: list indices must be integers, not str

    I have used this set of indexes previously to align reads with TopHat without difficulty. Is this an error on my part or is there an error with TopHat?

    My apologies for any SEQanswers community faux pas - this is my first post.

    Thanks for your assistance!

      --closure-search problem

      Hi,
      I think that this error is due to the --closure-search option, indeed when I removed it I did not receive any error.

        Luigi,

        Thanks for your expeditious reply! Indeed, I tried removing the "--closure-search" option and now things are running fine.

        Cheers!

          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...
