tophat could not find bowtie index files

[bbm]

I'm trying to align my rna-seq data to ref genome using tophat. I made bowtie2 index files, and it is in the working dir.
The code I used is :
"source /usr/local/apps/tophat/tophat.csh

cd /gpfs_share/hlibyar/tophat

tophat Am_genome ../trim/IAPV_05h_TTAGGC_L003_R1_001.trimmed.fastq
"


This is my error msg.

Error: Could not find Bowtie index files (Am_genome.*.ebwt)

It seems like tophat is looking for ebwt files, but my index are *.bt2
Pls help me here! thanks a lot!

The error states that it could not find bowtie2. I assume it needs to be in the path.

[GenoMax]

It found bowtie1 but the right index files (you have version 2 files) are missing. So you can either include path for bowtie2 or create indexes using bowtie1. I assume you want the former.

Thanks! But my bowtie2 index are in the current dir?
still need to give the path?
I'll try that.

[GenoMax]

Your default $PATH is pointing to bowtie v.1. executable. Do you have bowtie v.2. installed? That location of v.2 executable should be added to $PATH.

Once tophat finds a version of bowtie (I think it looks for v.2 first then v.1) it will go looking for the indexes. Since it found v.1 it went looking for those indexes (the indexes differ for the two versions).

hi
I'm following a tutorial in tophat, but I don't know what is wrong with my code, please help
I have been trying with
tophat -p 2 -G GSM794483_C1_R1.transcripts.gtf -o C1_R1_thout /home/tomas/bin/c1/genome genome GSM794483_C1_R1_1.fq GSM794483_C1_R1_2.fq

tophat -p 2 -G GSM794483_C1_R1.transcripts.gtf -o C1_R1_thout genome.1 GSM794483_C1_R1_1.fq GSM794483_C1_R1_2.fq

or even this
tophat -p 2 -G GSM794483_C1_R1.transcripts.gtf -o C1_R1_thout genome.1 GSM794483_C1_R1_1.fq GSM794483_C1_R1_2.fq
but nothing work...

[GenoMax]

Are you following the tophat tutorial from nature protocols?

Can you post a long listing (ls -l) of files from the directory where you are trying to run tophat from?

[lupid]

ls
C1_R1_thout genome.3.bt2 GSM794483_C1_R1_2.fq.gz
genome genome.4.bt2 GSM794483_C1_R1.accepted_hits.bam

genome.2.bt2 GSM794483_C1_R1_2.fq GSM794483_C1_R1.transcripts.gtf

[GenoMax]

Try this:

$ tophat -p 2 -G ./GSM794483_C1_R1.transcripts.gtf -o ./C1_R1_thout_new ./genome ./GSM794483_C1_R1_1.fq ./GSM794483_C1_R1_2.fq

i'm working with ubuntu 14, and every file are in the same directory

[GenoMax]

Can you post a long listing of this directory?

$ ls -lh

Did you get the index files from Illumina igenomes?

[lupid]

Are not

Those index files do not look right. Where did you get those from? There are two genome.rev.*.bt2 files missing.

i get it from http://0-www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.elis.t...i?acc=GSE32038
