  • Tophat2: OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

    I am having a trouble while running tophat2.
    I am using tophat2 (v2.0.11), Bowtie2 (v2.2.2) and samtools (v0.1.19).
    The command line that I am using is as follows:
    $ tophat -G /path/to/Homo_sapiens/Ensembl/GRCh37/Annotation/Genes/genes.gtf --transcriptome-index /path/to/transcriptome_data/known -o /path/to/out -p 8 /path/to/Homo_sapiens/Ensembl/GRCh37/Sequence/Bowtie2Index/genome /path/to/read_1.fastq.gz /path/to/read_2.fastq.gz

    The last few lines of the error message is:

    [2014-04-18 01:59:45] Resuming TopHat pipeline with unmapped reads
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "./tophat", line 4084, in <module>

    File "./tophat", line 1159, in nonzeroFile

    File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/subprocess.py", line 1234, in _execute_child
    raise child_exception
    OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

    Can anyone of you help me to solve the problem.
    Thank you.

    Was the disk you were using full? It's trying to open a file that it should have just created but can't. The most likely explanation is that the disk is full.

      No there were enough space in the disk. Now the problem has been resolved.
      I have replaced tophat with tophat2 in the command line.

        Any ideas?
        Thanks

          Are you using new samtools (v.1.x) by chance? TopHat is likely incompatible with the latest samtools (they are now bundling an older version of samtools in TopHat downloads).

          You are running an old Tophat version BTW (current is v.2.0.13).

            Thanks, I used the older version of samtools and it fixed.

              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...
