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!!!

Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.
The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
