  • TopHat --no-discordant option

    Dear All,

    I am new to the RNASeq data analysis and I have a query regarding TopHat for, RNASeq data containing paired-end reads, some specific options to be used.

    I am using TopHat v2.0.10 on ubuntu and it works fine and gives the output files with default options but when I use the options "--no-discordant" and "--no-mixed" to get more specific outcomes I get an error at the stage of "tophat_reports" with a message like this.

    [FAILED]
    Error running tophat_reports
    Loaded ****** junctions


    I tried searching to see if someone else had the same problem and then I found a suggestion that v2.0.9 works with these options but after testing it I found the same error at the stage of "tophat_reports".

    It will be very nice if anyone could please help me if there is something that I am doing wrong? This is the way I am using it:

    tophat2 -p 8 -G genes.gtf --no-discordant --no-mixed -o output_dir genome reads1.fq reads2.fq

    I also tried with only one option at a time like using "--no-mixed" and only using "--no-discordant":

    tophat2 -p 8 -G genes.gtf --no-mixed -o output_dir genome reads1.fq reads2.fq

    tophat2 -p 8 -G genes.gtf --no-discordant -o output_dir genome reads1.fq reads2.fq

    The tophat run process with the --no-mixed option works fine in both v2.0.10 and v2.0.9 also but the tophat run process with the --no-discordant option fails in both the versions with the same error as mentioned above. So I am guessing that there is some issue with using the --no-discordant option.

    Is there some other version which works with these options together or only with the --no-discordant option or is there something that I can fix to overcome the error so that the process can be completed with the --no-discordant option?

    Thank You

    Regards,
    Pawan

    chpawan I am also having the same problem and getting the exact error and only when I use the --no-discordant option
    Please let me know if you have fixed the problem .
    thanks.

      This has been an issue in the past:





      I believe it is an issue with the script that needs to be addressed... looks like there is no solution right now. Particularily an issue with larger datasets. Someone said that updating Samtools might help, but that's all I can offer... sorry bud.

        sorry, I put the same link twice... Here is the second link.

        Also, someone mentioned that increasing their RAM helped. Are you working with little available RAM?

          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...
