Dear Team, I've been having a problem with cufflink regarding GFF files. I tried searching the mailing list first and failed to find an answer. Could you help me look at this?
I downloaded my genome annotation GFF file from NCBI (soon I realized NCBI format may be a problem) for my bacterial RNA-seq data analysis. My GFF file looks like the following: '##gff-version 3#!gff-spec-version 1.20#!processor NCBI annotwriter##sequence-region NC_011420.2 1 4355543##species http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi?id=414684NC_011420.2 RefSeqregion14355543.+.ID=id0;Dbxref=taxon:414684;Is_circular=true;culture-collection=ATCC:51521;gb-synonym=Rhodocista centenaria SW;gbkey=Src;genome=chromosome;mol_type=genomic DNA;strain=SW%3B ATCC 51521NC_011420.2RefSeqgene113343.+. ID=gene0;Name=RC1_0011;Dbxref=GeneID:7008893;gbkey=Gene;locus_tag=RC1_0011 NC_011420.2RefSeqCDS113343.+0ID=cds0;Name=YP_002296275.1;Parent=gene0;Note=Contains a type I secretion target ggxgxdxxx repeat %282 copies%29 domain%3B Contains a Cadherin domain%3B identified by match to protein family HMM PF02789;Dbxref=Genbank:YP_002296275.1,GeneID:7008893;gbkey=CDS;product=hypothetical protein;protein_id=YP_002296275.1;transl_table=11 I used this file for cufflink but all the FPKM values are 0. I checked out this link: http://cufflinks.cbcb.umd.edu/gff.html and thought that maybe the problem is because I don't have any mRNA feature in my gff file. Since I am dealing with a bacterial genome, there is no exon/intron or UTR info needed. Therefore I modified my GFF file into the following: ##gff-version 3#!gff-spec-version 1.20#!processor NCBI annotwriter##sequence-region NC_011420.2 1 4355543##species http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi?id=414684NC_011420.2 RefSeqregion14355543.+.ID=id0;Dbxref=taxon:414684;Is_circular=true;culture-collection=ATCC:51521;gb-synonym=Rhodocista centenaria SW;gbkey=Src;genome=chromosome;mol_type=genomic DNA;strain=SW%3B ATCC 51521NC_011420.2RefSeqmRNA113343.+.

I can only tell from the report that there is a segmentation fault but not further details. The report is as follows: Error running cufflinks. return code = 139 Command line: cufflinks -q --no-update-check -I 100 -F 0.100000 -j 0.150000 -p 4 -G /galaxy/test_pool/pool5/files/000/327/dataset_327777.dat /galaxy/test_database/files/000/325/dataset_325086.dat [19:41:41] Loading reference annotation. Segmentation fault cp: cannot stat `/galaxy/test_pool/pool3/tmp/job_working_directory/000/170/170197/global_model.txt': No such file or directory cp: cannot stat `/galaxy/test_pool/pool3/tmp/job_working_directory/000/170/170197/isoforms.fpkm_tracking': No such file or directory cp: cannot stat `/galaxy/test_pool/pool3/tmp/job_working_directory/000/170/170197/genes.fpkm_tracking': No such file or directory My questions will be: 1. Is there any way to modify a NCBI bacterial genome annotation GFF file to make it usable for cufflink? Our genome annotation is only available in NCBI, not ensemble or USDC so this is pretty much my only choice.. 2. Should I proceed with modifying the GFF file or should I convert it into GTF and use the GTF instead in cufflink? I am a biochemist and really new to the computer world so any advice will help!
