  • Trouble running Tophat & Cufflinks on Galaxy with non-UCSC-supported genome

    I have been trying to run tophat and cufflinks on Prochlorococcus genome (marine cyanobacteria). I am working using Galaxy; I am not a Linux user but rather a "wet' biologist trying to get into bioinformatics on my own).

    I used the FASTA format of the genome available on MicrobesOnline: http://www.microbesonline.org/cgi-bi....cgi?tId=59919

    I used a gtf file that the microbesonline people helped me create from the tab delimited version available on their website.

    However, I am getting FPKMs of zero for everything.

    I wasnt sure whether there is some disconnect between the genome and transcriptome files I am using, or whether the problem is that I am using a regular FASTA genome but not a bowtie index, or something else??? I would really appreciate troubleshooting help as there is very little help out there for people working on non-UCSC organisms!

    I used the new "USeGalaxy" custom search (http://galaxyproject.org/search/usegalaxy/) and, um, didn't find anything either.

    Try reposting the question to the Galaxy-User mailing list. You can subscribe here: http://lists.bx.psu.edu/listinfo/galaxy-user

      Check this, it might solve the problem. Tophat expects chromosome/feature names used in the annotation file to be the same as used in genome sequence/bowtie indices (and possibly same order). For example, if the chromosomes are named like "chr1" in the indices , the annotation file should also have "chr1" (first column) not "1" or "c1". you can check how the chromosomes are named using the command
      "bowtie-inspect --names path2index". And change the annotation file to be the same as in the index files.

        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...
