    Cuffmerge error with gencode v12 gtf file

    Hello,
    I am working with RNASEq data and we are to use 2 sets of 3 bam files each, i.e. 2 different conditions and 3 replicates per condition (which were obtained using Tophat2) with Cufflinks, Cuffmerge and finally Cuffdiff.

    Cuffmerge requires a txt file with the full paths to the (in this case 6) transcripts.gtf files which was obtained on running cufflinks on each of the bam files. It also requires a reference genome fasta file and a gtf annotation file.

    I chose to use gencode's latest version 'gencode.v12.annotation.gtf' with cuffmerge. I however am getting the following error, and I don't have an answer for it.


    [Wed Jul 4 00:53:50 2012] Preparing output location ./merged_asm/
    [Wed Jul 4 00:55:46 2012] Converting GTF files to SAM
    [00:57:34] Loading reference annotation.
    Error: duplicate GFF ID 'ENST00000361547.2' encountered!

    Error: could not execute gtf_to_sam
    Traceback (most recent call last):

    sam_input_files = convert_gtf_to_sam(gtf_input_files)
    File "/share/apps/assembly/bin/cuffmerge", line 287, in convert_gtf_to_sam
    sam_out = gtf_to_sam(line)
    File "/share/apps/assembly/bin/cuffmerge", line 247, in gtf_to_sam
    exit(1)
    TypeError: 'str' object is not callable


    Does anyone know what this means, or why it is happening? Can it be fixed? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    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
