As per the RNASeq version 2 pipeline in the link below, I have been able to obtain outputs till step 11, i.e the transcriptome_alignments_filtered.bam output. Next step is to run rsem.
I ran RSEM using the following command : /opt/rsem-1.1.13/rsem-calculate-expression --paired-end --bam --estimate-rspd -p 8 transcriptome_alignments_filtered.bam /home/group_sh/TCGA+SRA_datamergerquantification_RNASeqV2/RSEM_ref_from_TCGA_webshare/hg19_M_rCRS_ref ERR519523.rsem > rsem.log_2 > rsem.log
I get this error in the log file :
rsem-parse-alignments failed! Please check if you provide correct parameters/options for the pipeline!
What is wrong? I donot understand. I am running exactly the same command!!!
Kindly help.

Are you using a different version of RSEM than the one in the PDF?Comment
-
No. I am using the same version mentioned in the UNC mRNASeq version2 document.Comment

Have you done first part of step 4 in this document: https://tcga-data.nci.nih.gov/tcgafi...ESCRIPTION.txtComment
-
Yes, I have done the first part of step 4 from that doc. I have the transcripts_aligned.bam, furthur filtering is also done. The only thing thats not working is RSEM...which we need!!!

Write directly to the contacts included in the TCGA doc with a request for help.Comment

Ok. I will do that. Will update on the same once I receive the reply. Thanks.

Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.
There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...07-08-2026, 05:17 AM -
Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.07-01-2026, 11:43 AM
