    Segmentation Fault 11, cuffdiff 2.2.1

    I used homebrew to download cufflinks 2.2.1 and the related packages to replicate the Cole-Trapnell paper from 2012 and have run into an issue on step 5. I was using boost 1.58 but then saw the warning that there is an issue with boost 1.56 and above so I uninstalled it and tried the boost155 package but I still keep getting segmentation fault 11. I am running this on my Mac OSX, 8gb of RAM, with 14.08 gb of disk space available. Any help would be much appreciated! I am very new to all of this.

    cuffdiff -o diff_out -b /usr/local/Cellar/my_rnaseq_exp/Drosophila_melanogaster/Ensembl/BDGP5.25/Sequence/Bowtie2Index/genome.fa -p 8 -L C1,C2 -u /usr/local/Cellar/my_rnaseq_exp/merged_asm/merged.gtf \./C1_R1_thout/accepted_hits.bam,./C1_R2_thout/accepted_hits.bam,./C1_R3_thout/accepted_hits.bam \./C2_R1_thout/accepted_hits2.bam,./C2_R2_thout/accepted_hits.bam,./C2_R3_thout/accepted_hits.bam

    I was also facing the exact same problem of segmentation fault 11 with cufflinks 2.2.1 and struggled hard to fix it. I am also a mac user and installed it from brew. At last, I found Mac OS X and its higher versions does not include X11(Xquartz). Installation of this tool suddenly fixed my problem. Now, Cufflink is working perfectly.

      This error can also be due to insufficient memory.

        Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
        by SEQadmin2


        I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

        Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

        From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
        by SEQadmin2


        Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


        The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
