Hi,
When I extract DRR data using "Extract reads in FASTQ/A format from NCBI SRA," for TopHat, I was able to get both a bam file and bam-index file.
However, when I filtered the extracted reads in FASTAQ format using "Filter FASTQ reads by quality score and length" and used the filtered data for TopHat, I was not be able to get the bam-index file and got the following error message, "An error occurred setting the metadata for this dataset Set it manually or retry auto-detection."
I repeated this twice, and I got the same message. Please let me know if you have any suggestion to fix this error.
Thanks,
kazz
Is your FASTQ file after the filter step still valid? For example if your file would be empty you can get such an error, because no index could be created.
