  • Cufflinks with solexa data

    Has anyone used cufflinks for solexa RNA-Seq data?

    Te reads are mapped using eland_rna algorithm and used export2sam.pl to convert the eland mapping into sam format.

    I get the following error when I try to use cufflinks.

    Code:
    $ ./cufflinks /test/lib.sam 
    Counting hits in map
    Error: this SAM file doesn't appear to be correctly sorted!
            current hit is at RM:-1, last one was at (null):0
    Please let me know the steps involved from solexa eland mapping data. Thanks.

    I would assume that the SAM file is indeed unsorted, as the error message says. If so, you can use the samtools package to sort the SAM file (I think you'll first have to convert it to BAM using "samtools view" before sorting, and then convert back) and try again.

    Alternatively (and easier), you can sort the Eland output file (or the SAM file) on the command line using a command like

    sort -o infile.bed -k 1,1 -k 2,2n infile.bed

    (if the chromosome is in column 1 and the starting coordinate is in column 2, that is ... if not, you have to substitute the correct column numbers for "1" and "2" above)

      possibly your sam file requires sorted by samtools . I did not have experience. good luck.

        Use the following command to sort your SAM files. I experienced the same problem and this fixed it. The code is from the Cufflinks manual, no need for samtools or anything else.

        Code:
        sort -k 3,3 -k 4,4n hits.sam > hits.sam.sorted

          Hi
          Thanks for the response. I did sort the sam file as per the manual but I still get the error as below:

          Code:
          Counting hits in map
          Error: this SAM file doesn't appear to be correctly sorted!
                  current hit is at mm9:-43, last one was at (null):0
          My reference genome chromosome names are c1,c2,c3...etc and splice junction reads starts with mm9. This is according to the eland mappingwhich includes mapping data against genome which includes c1,c2,c3 etc.. and the splice juctions generated (mm9)

          Please let me know how to overcome this problem. Thanks.

            I would try aligning the reads with TopHat instead. I have no experience with the Eland RNA-seq alignment program, but I doubt TopHat would do a much worse job.

              Hi,
              HAs anyone tried converting solexa eland output into sam format and use cufflinks successfully? I would erally appreciate very much for any help. Thanks.

                Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
                by seqadmin


                Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
