  • Running problem with cuffdiff

    Hello,

    I have problem with cuffdiff, where it complains about the SAM file not been sorted correctly:

    Error: this SAM file doesn't appear to be correctly sorted!
    current hit is at AT1G01050.1:81, last one was at AT1G01046.1:120

    However, these loci are in the correct order and running cufflinks with the same SAM files does not produce any errors.

    Perhaps someone else has encountered this problem before?

    Any suggestions will be gratefully received.

    did you use the bam file generated from tophat?

    I have the same problem if I use a bam file from CASAVA, but not from tophat.

      That depends on your idea of "correct". Strictly, the contig/chromosome order of sorted SAM or BAM files should follow the order from the header ("The order of @SQ lines defines the alignment sorting order"), so without the header information it can't be determined. I've got no idea if cufflinks looks for a strict ordering, or a dictionary/alphanumeric ordering when checking sort order in files.

      Also, if the 'AT1G...:81' refer to read IDs (rather than contig IDs), then there's not enough information in what you've given to work anything out. If the 81 and 120 correspond to base positions on the same chromosome, then the sorting is incorrect by any measure.

        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...
