  • CummeRbund 2.0 readCufflinks GTF/genome build options

    I'm trying to use the "transcript-structure level features" in CummeRbund made possible by including a GTF in the readCufflinks command. I'm wondering if these features are limited to certain genomes and if sample/test data exist.

    The readCufflinks command appears fine and I haven't had problems with any other functions, but the features(), makeGeneRegionTrack(), and subsequent commands fail.

    > cuff<-readCufflinks(gtfFile="GmGeneExonGFFixd.gtf",genome="Glyma1.1")

    ....Writing replicates Table
    Reading GTF file
    Writing GTF features to 'features' table...
    Reading ....

    > myGeneId<-"XLOC_000001"
    > myGene<-getGene(cuff,myGeneId)
    > myGene
    CuffGene instance for gene XLOC_000001 ...
    > head(fpkm(myGene))

    > head(features(myGene))

    > genetrack<-makeGeneRegionTrack(myGene)
    Error in `[.data.frame`(features(object), , featCols) :
    undefined columns selected

    > trackList<-list()

    > myStart<-min(features(myGene)$start)
    Warning message:
    In min(features(myGene)$start) :
    no non-missing arguments to min; returning Inf

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi clsppb,
    It's entirely possible that this is an issue with the genome name, but I'd have to look at your cuffData.db file to get a bit more information. Can you possibly send it my way?

    Also, was this a dataset that you had already built a database for and you were simply adding the gtf information? Or was this a first-time 'indexing' of your cuffdiff results?

    Cheers,
    Loyal

      Hi. I messaged you a link to my cuffData file, which I built from scratch with the gtf info. I have though previously tried to add the file to an already-built db.

        It looks like the .gtf file that you passed to readCufflinks() might not have been the same one that was used for your cuffdiff analysis... is this the case?

        The cuffdiff looks like it was using gene_id values that began with 'XLOC_', however, the records in the features table (which is built from the gtf passed to readCufflinks()) indicates that the gene_ids begin with 'Glyma...'. Can you confirm that these are the same file?

        If that is the case, can you send me the .gtf file so that I can take a look at it?

        Cheers,
        Loyal

          I did use the same gtf passed to readCufflinks() in my cufflinks runs with the -G option and in cuffmerge with the -g option. It's formatted like so:
          Gm01 Gm1_1 exon 28505 28509 . + . transcript_id "Glyma01g00241.1"; gene_id "Glyma01g00241"; gene_name "Glyma01g00241";

          I used the merged.gtf file from cuffmerge with cuffdiff and it does contain the XLOC_ gene_ids:
          Gm01 Cufflinks exon 28505 28509 . + . gene_id "XLOC_000001"; transcript_id "TCONS_00000001"; exon_number "1"; gene_name "Glyma01g00241"; oId "Glyma01g00241.1"; nearest_ref "Glyma01g00241.1"; class_code "="; tss_id "TSS1"; p_id "P1";

          The transcripts.gtf file produced by cuffmerge has the proper gene_id fields, should/can that be used by cuffdiff instead?
          Gm01 Cufflinks transcript 28505 30546 1000 + . gene_id "Glyma01g00241"; transcript_id "Glyma01g00241.1"; FPKM "0.0000000000"; frac "0.000000"; conf_lo "0.000000"; conf_hi "0.000000"; cov "0.000000"; full_read_support "yes";

            This is the file that you want to pass to readCufflinks() since this is the one that cuffdiff used to quantify....that way, the identifiers are consistent...

              Excellent, thank you very much!

              If anyone happens to be working with a non-UCSC-hosted genome/, to make Gviz happy you'll have to set:
              > options(ucscChromosomeNames=FALSE)

                What am I missing? Cant get it to work:

                cuff <- readCufflinks(dir = "path/to/cuff-output", gtfFile="genes.gtf", genome="hg19", rebuild = T)

                myGene<-getGene(cuff,myGeneId)

                genetrack<-makeGeneRegionTrack(myGene)
                Error in `[.data.frame`(features(object), , featCols) :
                undefined columns selected

                Also tried: options(ucscChromosomeNames=FALSE)

                  Hi All,

                  I have the following issue: I run tuxedo (including -G in cufflinks and -g in cuffmege using TAIR10) and I am trying to find more info on the BHLH101 gene highly expressed in my data. All I get, however, is "<0 rows> (or 0-length row.names)" and "Error... " (highlighted in red, please see below).

                      Hi, I had the same problem before. You need to use readCufflinks(,gtfFile="path/to/file(the file you used for cuffdiff)"), then it will read the features in the gtf file.

                        Thank for your reply. I am still struggling with this. I have included the gtf filed i used in cufflinks/cuffdiff but I still get the same error.

                        Any ideas?
                        Thanks again

                              Figured it out for my dataset!

                              Hey everyone,

                              I had the same problem where the following code returned errors:
                              head(features(myGene))

                              [1] feature_id gene_id isoform_id seqnames source type start end score strand
                              [11] frame

                              <0 rows> (or 0-length row.names)

                              genetrack<-makeGeneRegionTrack(myGene)
                              plotTracks(genetrack)

                              Error in `[.data.frame`(features(object), , featCols) :
                              undefined columns selected
                              This is what I did in R to fix the problem:

                              > library("cummeRbund")
                              > library("Gviz")

                              > cuff<-readCufflinks('./diff_out',gtfFile="./merged_asm/merged.gtf",genome="mm10",rebuild=TRUE)

                              > rm(myGene)

                              > myGene<-getGene(cuff,myGeneId)

                              > head(features(myGene))
                              seqnames start end width strand source type score phase
                              1 chr15 82615965 82616212 248 - Cufflinks exon NA NA
                              2 chr15 82616313 82616454 142 - Cufflinks exon NA NA
                              3 chr15 82616748 82616935 188 - Cufflinks exon NA NA
                              ...

                              > genetrack<-makeGeneRegionTrack(myGene)
                              > plotTracks(genetrack)

                              Which successfully worked.

                              If you are interested, I am in Mouse and using mm10 gtf files and genome sequence. My working directory in R was the directory where my cuffdiff output was ('diff_out') and the directory also held the merged.gtf file from cuffmerge ('./merged_asm/merged.gtf'). The rebuild may not be necessary if you are just starting readCufflinks for the first time (but not you may have to include the rebuild=TRUE statement even if you are rerunning R).

                              You may have to also include:
                              options(ucscChromosomeNames=FALSE)
                              if your chromosome names are not in the standard UCSC format (https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/bioco...il/052153.html)

                              Note that what you identify as your genome should be the UCSC genome identifier string for your organism.

                              Hope this helps!

                                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...
