  • Tophat errors

    Hi,

    I have just run Tophat for the first time and get the following errors.

    It still gives me some output files, but I would like to be sure that it did run properly before continuing with the analysis.

    [Mon Aug 10 17:43:05 2009] Indexing splices
    Warning: Encountered reference sequence with only gaps

    These are the 2 error messages I am concerned with.

    Thanks for any help

    This is a failed run, and I'll need to look at what happened more closely. Can you send me your logs?

    Are you able to reproduce this with a relatively small data set that you can put somewhere for me to download?

      Hi,
      I've been trying to use tophat 1.0.10. However when I try to use the accepted_hits.sam output to view the pileups with samtools I get the following error:-

      samtools pileup -f ebwt_human.fa -S accepted_hits.sam
      [samopen] no @SQ lines in the header.
      [sam_read1] missing header? Abort!

      Looking at the output file there appears to be no header lines at the beginning of the file and therefore I can't use it for any downstream analysis as samtools doesn't see it as valid sam output, is anyone else having similar problems? any solutions would be welcome!

        TopHat doesn't currently use the SAM header, but I'm planning on adding headers in the next version of the program. In the very short term, it's relatively straightforward to prepend the sequence dictionary portion of the header to TopHat's output after the fact.

          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...
