Tophat error

[fanzhen]

I am new to RNAseq, I am trying to map my reads to my reference genome. It generates this error
Generating SAM header for /path/ref
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/apps/tuxedo/tophat/2.1.2/bin/tophat", line 4107, in <module>

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ''

Any ideas how to fix this?

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ''

This is the critical piece. TopHat is not finding some file/directory that you specified in your command. Since you have not included your full command you will need to investigate which it may be.

The following is my command.
tophat2 -p 8 -r 300 -N 1 -o tophat_out /path/ref read1 read2
And I have ref.fa and Bowtie built reference in this folder.
The last line in log file is 'Generating SAM header for /path/ref'
