  • Cuffmerge error file never signals "done"...is this normal?

    Hello all,

    I'm fairly new to the bioinformatics world and am trying to combine several gtf files with cuffmerge. My shell script is as follows:

    Code:
    #!/bin/bash
    
    /home/usr/bin/cufflinks-2.2.1.Linux_x86_64/cuffmerge -p 8 -s /home/usr/hg19_genome/hg19.mfa gtf_names
    where gtf names is a text file containing the gtf filenames, one per line. The job seems to run to completion, producing the expected merged.gtf. However, an error fie is also produced stating the following:

    Code:

    My concern is that the error file never gives a "done" message to indicate successful completion...is this to be expected? Thank you in advance for your help!

    Should be ok. I don't think cuffmerge writes a "done" message to the log file.

        Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
        by seqadmin


        The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...

        Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
        by seqadmin




        The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...
