Miso Index creator not working with ensEMBL GFF files

09-03-2012, 09:56 AM

Hello everybody.

I am having troubles using the MISO pipeline for finding alternative first exons on my reads dataset.

for making MISO work, an index must be created by the index_gff.py script which comes with the pipelne. According to the MISO webiste, the input should be like this one:

chr1 SE gene 4772649 4775821 . - . ID=chr1:4775654:4775821:-@chr1:4774032:4774186:-@chr1:4772649:4772814:-;Name=chr1:4775654:4775821:-@chr1:4774032:4774186:-@chr1:4772649:4772814:-

Instead, a normal GFF file downloaded from ensEMBL looks like this

so the indexer is not recognizing some part, as described by the error log:
[CODEWARNING: Invalid attributes string: gene_id "ENSDARG00000074181"; transcript_id "ENSDART00000057160"; exon_number "1"; gene_name "LRRC24 (2 of 2)"; gene_biotype "protein_coding"; transcript_name "CT027690.1-201";[/CODE]

I would like to change the script (which is in python) but since I don't know the indexing criterias I don't know how to do it. Has some already done this, or know a way to make this script indexing work?

thank you very much,

daniele

The normal GFF file you posted below provided by ENSEMBL is gtf format, you should use gtf2gff3.pl to convert gtf to gff file first, then index the gff file which is successfully converted.
It's mentioned in MISO manual:

Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool

by SEQadmin2

CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.¹ But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized...

Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications

by SEQadmin2

Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

The systematic characterization of the human proteome has...

Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems

by SEQadmin2

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.
