    CummeRbund error

    Hi,
    I'm stuck in this cummeRbund error:

    library(cummeRbund)
    cuff_data <- readCufflinks('diff_out')
    Creating database diff_out/cuffData.db
    Reading diff_out/genes.fpkm_tracking
    Error in scan(file, what, nmax, sep, dec, quote, skip, nlines, na.strings, :
    line 1 did not have 33 elements

    If someone can help...
    Thanks

    Hi,

    I am having the same error:

    cuff_data <- readCufflinks ('diff_out')
    Creating database diff_out/cuffData.db
    Reading diff_out/genes.fpkm_tracking
    Error in scan(file, what, nmax, sep, dec, quote, skip, nlines, na.strings, :
    line 1 did not have 25 elements


    Were you able to resolve this problem?

    Thanks.

      I look all the files searching the problem...the problem was in the GFF3 (or GTF) file. The '#' character appeared in some gene names.
      Probably your annotation file have some character that the R don't recognize.

        Thanks. I deleted all the '#' characters and received some progress but another error.

        It may just be the same problem but with the gene_exp.diff file this time.
        Thanks again and I appreciate your help!

          I'm glad that I can help.
          I ran all the TopHat and cufflinks pipeline with the GFF3 corrected to avoid errors and it worked well for me.

            Hi
            I have similar problem while loading database in commeRbund

            > library("cummeRbund")
            > cuff_data<-readCufflinks('cuffdiff_output_sample-ATvsBC')
            Creating database /cuffdiff_output_sample-ATvsBC/cuffData.db
            Reading Run Info File cuffdiff_output_sample-ATvsBC/run.info
            Writing runInfo Table
            Reading Read Group Info cuffdiff_output_sample-ATvsBC/read_groups.info
            Error in scan(file, what, nmax, sep, dec, quote, skip, nlines, na.strings, :
            line 1 did not have 7 elements

            Then I try

            > cuff_data
            CuffSet instance with:
            0 samples
            0 genes
            0 isoforms
            0 TSS
            0 CDS
            0 promoters
            0 splicing
            0 relCDS

            The cuffData.db file is only 70kb, so I assume there are some error in loading db.
            Any help will be highly appreciated.

                Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
                by SEQadmin2


                I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

                Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

                From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
                by SEQadmin2


                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.
