    cuffdiff crashes on loading reference annotation

    Hi, has anybody experienced cuffdiff crashing with no error message upon loading the reference annotation? I've checked with a subset of my gff file (10 lines or so) to see if the problem was caused by the reference annotation file being massive but this made no difference. Any pointers appreciated, thank you.

    Have you used this cuffdiff with other datasets successfully before?

      This is an old post, but it was the only thing that came up when I searched for this problem.

      For me at least, the problem was caused by something quite simple: when executing cuffdiff, I had included the path to the directory where the reference was stored but had neglected to include the reference gtf itself.

      A rather silly mistake, but I suspect others must make it so I wanted to post the solution. It is rather strange cuffdiff throws no error and simply exits.

        Yes, I know this is an old post, but I reproduced the same problem.
        I created a GFF file in Excel, transferred the file to the server and ran cuffdiff using the GFF file.
        For me, the problem was the GFF file was misformatted. I put the locus Id in the 9th column, where I should have prefixed the locus id with "ID=". Apparently Cufflinks needs that "ID=" tag.
        In any event, Cuffdiff should display the proper error message.

          Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
          by SEQadmin2



          Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

          Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

          New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
          by SEQadmin2


          Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

          We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
