  • Tophat 1.0.7 problems

    Hi all,

    I'm running TOPHAT 1.0.7 with 75bp solexa reads in a pipeline that worked in the previous version - this is my command-line:

    Code:
    tophat --p 3 --solexa-quals --max-gene-family 1 /Index/mm9 /Reads/reads.fq
    And output:

    Any suggestions are appreciated,

    Thank you in advance,

    Hi Johannes,

    Can you email me your logs directory? And in the future, when you get these sorts of errors, please just email me directly, as I'll see it more quickly.

    Thanks,

    Cole

      Hi,

      I got the same error when running a test set (33 bp solexa single end reads) against a Bowtie index of chr5 made using a fasta reference with a somewhat long and complicated fasta-name including spaces, ">gi|37550270|ref|NT_034772.5|Hs5_34934 Homo sapiens chromosome 5 genomic contig, reference assembly". When I rebuilt the index using the hg19 chr5 reference with just ">chr5" for the fasta name I was able to run Tophat 1.0.7 without errors.

      Of course this might not be the problem in your case, but perhaps it can help others.

        That could be the cause of my problem, as my reference names are pretty long as well. Thanks for the suggestion.

        Regards,
        Johannes

          I've just posted a note on the TopHat site alerting users to this problem, and describing the workaround. As suggested above, the problem occurs when the Bowtie index's reference records have spaces in their names. This will be fixed in the next release. Thanks for your help, and your patience.

            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...
