  • Tophat Error: No unambiguous stretches of characters in the input(?).

    I suspect this could be due to errors in the GFF file, has any one seen it before? I am aligning 27 bp reads and I know that bowtie-build is in my path. I downloaded GTF file from UCSC and then converted it to GFF using the perl script on this forum. Any help will be REALLY appreciated.
