  • Cuffcompare - no output, no warnings

    Hi,

    I am running cuffcompare after making transcripts.gtf and merging those for each of the two conditions I wish to investigate. I am running without a gtf reference (I want to see the difference between running with and without -g ref.gtf makes). I am using cuffcompare 2.0.0:

    cuffcompare -o ~/cufflinks/cuffComp/no_gtf/ -V -s /data/ref.gtf
    /cufflinks/N_merged.cufflink_no_gtf/transcripts.gtf
    /cufflinks/P_merged.cufflink_no_gtf/transcripts.gtf

    I get no output at all. Verbose gives me the following:

    Warning: Could not connect to update server to verify current version. Please check at the Cufflinks website (http://cufflinks.cbcb.umd.edu).
    Prefix for output files:
    Processing qfile #1: /cufflinks/N_merged.cufflink_no_gtf/merged.gtf
    Loading transcripts from /cufflinks/N_merged.cufflink_no_gtf/merged.gtf..
    Processing qfile #2: /cufflinks/P_merged.cufflink_no_gtf/merged.gtf
    Loading transcripts from /cufflinks/P_merged.cufflink_no_gtf/merged.gtf..
    Tracking transcripts across 2 query files..
    Cleaning up..
    Done.

    This takes ~30 seconds. Tried with transcripts.gtf also. Also tried with another set of gtf files. Running with a ref.gtf gives:

    <list of duplicates>
    61 duplicate reference transcripts discarded.
    ..reference annotation loaded
    Prefix for output files:
    Processing qfile #1: /cufflinks/N_merged.cufflink_gtf/merged.gtf
    Loading transcripts from /cufflinks/N_merged.cufflink_gtf/merged.gtf..
    2134 redundant cufflinks transfrags discarded.
    Found 11538 transcripts with undetermined strand.
    Processing qfile #2: /cufflinks/P_merged.cufflink_gtf/merged.gtf
    Loading transcripts from /cufflinks/P_merged.cufflink_gtf/merged.gtf..

    Found 11302 transcripts with undetermined strand.
    Tracking transcripts across 2 query files..
    Cleaning up..
    Done.


    Any advice or help would be very much appreciated

    Because you gave a output directory while cuffcompare asked for a output prefix. Which means you give a blank prefix to cuffcompare.
    So the outputs that are supposed to be output_prefix.combined.gtf are now just .combined.gtf.
    And in a lot of linux-like systems, .* file (a file starts with dot) is treated as a hidden file.
    Check your output directory and you probably will see them there, hidden.

      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...
