Hello,

I'm running cuffdiff and this error comes up when it runs.

My first question is if anyone knows why this is happening and secondly,

I can still look at the tabular file though for the differential gene expression testing and it still has all the genes and if they are significant or not and their calculated FPKM values? Can I still trust that?

Thank you :)

Hi Val, Are you setting a 'library type' in Cuffdiff? A similar error was reported on BioStars (https://www.biostars.org/p/118904/) and setting the 'library type' in Cuffdiff fixed the issue in that case.

Cheers, Mo Heydarian

Val, I see the re-run going with the Advanced Settings: Library prep parameter now set (it was not originally - thanks Mo!). If you have time, please let us know if this works or not. Jen

Dear Mo and Jen,

I've tried re-running it using the library prep parameter but the same error has come up unfortunately. Val

Ok, thanks Val. Our admin is looking into this. I'll move all this back to a comment until there is a definitive explanation.

I am also doing some other quick checks on your data, but I doubt that is a factor from my review so far.

Jen

Hi Val,

How did you align your data?

Cheers, Mo Heydarian

ADD REPLYlink written 2.3 years ago by Mo Heydarian830

Hi Mo,

It was alligned using HISAT.

Val

ADD REPLYlink written 2.3 years ago by VY120

Hi Val,

Did you set the 'library type' (unstranded, firststrand, secondstrand) when you ran HISAT?

'Library type' is the Tophat/Cuffdiff nomenclature, HISAT refers to this as 'specify strand specific information' (under the 'spliced alignment parameters' options).

If I run HISAT without assigning the 'specify strand specific information' and run Cuffdiff on the output I get the same error you are seeing. When I run HISAT and assign the correct 'specify strand specific information' parameter, I no longer see errors.

Cheers, Mo

Hi Mo,

Thanks for all the suggestions! I'm not sure why this keeps happening. I had originally uploaded the bam files directly after aligning the data locally. Having uploaded the fastq files and aligning within galaxy has made the error disappear even though all of the parameters are the same. No idea why this might be happening, hopefully Jen might be able to let us know.

Thanks for all the help though! Val

Hello - I haven't seen this exact message before. Where are you using Galaxy?

If at http://usegalaxy.org, or the error can be reproduced there, please submit a bug report following these instructions. Include a link to this Biostars posts in the comments.

If elsewhere, please share more about that: another public site (URL?), local (what Galaxy version?), or Cloudman?

Thanks, Jen, Galaxy team

Hi Jen,

Thanks for getting back to me. Yes it's on the public galaxy server. I've Submitted the bug report and added in the link to this thread.

thanks Val
