In my case I forgot the -C for colorspace reads. Since bowtie won't run in this case, it will give the same error message. This behavior of tophat really needs to be corrected and the output of bowtie has to be shown on screen.

For anyone else who runs into this problem: Get the file logs/run.log from your tophat output directory. Search for the line that starts with bowtie and copy/paste it into a command line. Bowtie will fail and the error message tells you what the problem was.Comment

Here is a patch for tophat 1.2.0 that fixes this:
< if not os.path.isfile(unmapped_reads_fasta_name):
< sys.stderr.write("Error: Bowtie results not found, error message from bowtie was:\n")
< logData = open(logging_dir + tmp_fname + ".log").read()
< sys.stderr.write(logData)
< sys.exit(1)

Thank you for your post. I fix the problem. I realised that I was using the whole genome itself instead the reads..

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 technique into...07-31-2026, 11:01 AM -
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...07-20-2026, 11:48 AM
