    Cufflinks doesn't recognize read type

    Hello.
    I used Cufflinks to process data from tophat.
    My data come from Illumina and are pair-end type.

    I type following command:
    Code:
    /path/cufflinks tophat_out/accepted_hits.bam -o cuff_out

    Unfortunately Cufflinks recognize that data as single-end and lenght 0!

    Code:
    [13:40:01] Inspecting reads and determining fragment length distribution.
    Processed 204293 loci.
    Map Properties:
           Total Map Mass: 5928337.99
           [B]Read Type: 0bp single-end[/B]
           Fragment Length Distribution: Truncated Gaussian (default)
                         Default Mean: 200
                      Default Std Dev: 80
    [13:52:49] Assembling transcripts and estimating abundances.
    Processed 204293 loci.
    Is it necesarry to use some more option to correct run Cufflinks on pair-end data?

    What do your sequence headers look like and how are your files split up, if at all? I've run into this problem before, and it just required getting the formatting right.

      Do you think about header of bam file?
      I obtained 28 fastq files from Casava - 14 right-end (R1) 14 left-end (R2).
      I have processed them by tophat.

        Are you sure tophat used them as paired and not singled? How do the ends of your sequence headers look in the fastq format? If they come out with:

        @XXXX 1:N:0 @XXXX 2:N:0
        AGC.. GCT
        +XXXX 1:N:0 +XXXX 1:N:0
        .... .....

        a lot of programs won't recognize that as paired end files. You need to convert it to:

        @XXXX/1 @XXXX/2
        AGC.. GCT
        +XXXX/1 +XXXX/2
        .... .....

        I came on here with the same kinds of issues and a friendly commenter made this post to help people like me out:

        One unfortunate drawback of working with Illumina sequences is the many changes to the format of their fastq readfiles. The quality scoring has been changed several times since the first Solexa rea…

          I've tested cufflinks processing on other data and then cufflinks recognised them correctly as 57bp x 57bp.
          Hence I know that there is the mistake at tophat processing fastq files level.

          I know that is necessary to all sequences R1 and R2 (pair-end) be typed in the same order, so I used following command:

          Code:
          tophat /path/to/genome $(printf "%s," ./*.gz | sed 's/,$/\n/')
          Do you think that way type args (fastq files) is incorect?

            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
