I wanted to try tophat 1.1 with a UCSC supplied GTF file, but the binary (linux-x86_64) I downloaded keeps asking for a GFF file. Has anyone had success running this version with a GTF file?

where can I get reliable GTF annotation files?
I'm trying to get the GTF files for hg18, preferably at isoform level, from UCSC browser portal, in order to run with Tophat and cufflinks, but apparently I can't find such files there.
So far I've managed to download a table from here http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTables?command=start but I'm not quite sure if it's the right way to do it. How did you guys get the file?
thanks

yes that what I did, but the problem is that there are loads of options for group/track/table and I don't find any single combination to look significantly more appealing. I'm looking for a detailed annotation for hg18, currently I have taken, the GTF file with:
Group: Genes and Gene prediction Tracks
Track: RefSeq Genes
Table: refGene
but I dunno how sensible/standard choice it is! and I guess it does not contain isoform level annotation.

So you can supply TopHat with a GTF file of annotated transcripts, which, using the --GTF option, will be the first place where reads are mapped, followed by the whole genome, with or without novel junction discovery in this second stage. As I understand it, this is after TopHat 1.4.
I'm curious to know how t was before 1.4. I think you could already give TopHat a GTF file, but it used it second. Am I right? If so, what is the difference between using it [the GTF file] first and using it second after the genome?

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
