Thank you TopHat team for the timingly fix!

Don't know where to post, so I just post here.

I have the same problem with tophat 1.1.3, and do not manage to solve the problem.

I used :
./tophat --solexa1.3-quals --no-novel-juncs -G Danio_rerio.Zv9.60.gtf -o /5cq15 Danio_rerio.Zv9.60 5.fastq

the log file is the same as yours:
prep_reads v1.1.3 (1680)
---------------------------
/home/olivier/src/illumina_software_version/tophat_113/bin/prep_reads: unrecognized option '--gtf-annotations'

Funny thing however in the gtf_juncs log file: seems to do something their
gtf_juncs v1.1.3 (1680)
---------------------------
Extracted 218405 junctions from /Danio_rerio.Zv9.60.gtf

I tried gtf and gff format and both failed.
When I run without -G option it works fine...
Any feedback would be much appreciated

Cheers

Hi James,

Since you have solved the problem, would you mind post what the messages you get when the read RTF file passed?

On my side the error is:

[Tue Nov 16 17:02:17 2010] Reading known junctions from GTF file
[FAILED]
Error: could not execute prep_reads

That may help me to figure out what's wrong in my case.
Thanks,

I fixed this problem. It may have been two things:

It may have been calling an older prep_reads I had lurking in my path.

It said I was calling tophat v1.1.0 even though I downloaded v1.1.3. I just re-downloaded the binaries and replaced them. Now it tells me I'm running v1.1.3.

I'm running Mac OSX 10.5.8. by the way.

Thank you James,

However, it may not be the reason, because in the log file you posted, it says v1.1.3 there.

I still have the problem on my side.

I got the same error for my dataset today, without those options:

tophat -o Mytophat_out -G mygtf.gtf indexes/myindex reads/myreads.fasta

The error message is :

[FAILED]
Error: could not execute prep_reads


and in the prep_reads.log is:

prep_reads v1.1.3 (1680)
---------------------------
somedir/prep_reads: unrecognized option `--gtf-annotations'


Hope someone can help.
