    Cuffmerge error with gencode v12 gtf file

    Hello,
    I am working with RNASEq data and we are to use 2 sets of 3 bam files each, i.e. 2 different conditions and 3 replicates per condition (which were obtained using Tophat2) with Cufflinks, Cuffmerge and finally Cuffdiff.

    Cuffmerge requires a txt file with the full paths to the (in this case 6) transcripts.gtf files which was obtained on running cufflinks on each of the bam files. It also requires a reference genome fasta file and a gtf annotation file.

    I chose to use gencode's latest version 'gencode.v12.annotation.gtf' with cuffmerge. I however am getting the following error, and I don't have an answer for it.


    [Wed Jul 4 00:53:50 2012] Preparing output location ./merged_asm/
    [Wed Jul 4 00:55:46 2012] Converting GTF files to SAM
    [00:57:34] Loading reference annotation.
    Error: duplicate GFF ID 'ENST00000361547.2' encountered!

    Error: could not execute gtf_to_sam
    Traceback (most recent call last):

    sys.exit(main())
    File "/share/apps/assembly/bin/cuffmerge", line 554, in main
    sam_input_files = convert_gtf_to_sam(gtf_input_files)
    File "/share/apps/assembly/bin/cuffmerge", line 287, in convert_gtf_to_sam
    sam_out = gtf_to_sam(line)
    File "/share/apps/assembly/bin/cuffmerge", line 247, in gtf_to_sam
    exit(1)
    TypeError: 'str' object is not callable


    Does anyone know what this means, or why it is happening? Can it be fixed? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
    by SEQadmin2



    CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

    Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

    Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
    by SEQadmin2



    Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.
