    cuffdiff error: Testing for differential expression and regulation in locus = killed

    Hi

    I am trying to run cuffdiff after running cuffmerge but everytime I run my script it gets to Testing for differential expression and regulation in locus and then the program is killed. Each time I run it, the program gets to a different %. Below it shows 0%, last time it ran until 8%.

    I am running cufflinks-2.2.1.Linux_x86_64 on linux mint 17.1 (64 bit).

    I tried to look on the cuffdiff google groups and there is one account of others finding this error (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/tuxedo-tools-users/Testing$20for$20differential$20expression$20and$20regulation$20in$20locus.$20killed/tuxedo-tools-users/6c8U6-eJ2sg/dAxdILHZGPkJ), however there is no response from the superusers. So I thought I would try here.

    my script is
    cuffdiff /Ppatens_251_v3.0.gene.gtf -b /ppatens3.fa -N -L "case","control" -o "./diff_quant" --multi-read-correct /caseabundances.cxb /controlabundances.cxb

    and here is the edited output (it was a bit long to post)

    You are using Cufflinks v2.2.1, which is the most recent release.

    in case you have figured out the problem, please suggest me.

      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.
