Hello,

I am trying to load my cuffdiff genes tracking file into cummeRbund and I get an error:

Does anyone have any idea what went wrong?

can you show your code that you used to read in the cuffdiff output?

I have modified my post to show that.

It does not seem that there's anything wrong with genes.fpkm_tracking... maybe the scan() function is not opening the right file?

You tried making sym-links to a directory (or putting all input files into 1 directory) and then running readCufflinks() in that directory?

I tried the same commands on a different experiment and I was in the same directory when I invoked R and it worked loading the genes tracking file.

Might it be that scan is parsing the file in a wrong way?

Are you sure your genes.fpkm_tracking is tab-delimited? I think it should be tab-delimited for the program to correctly read the file.

The default output is tab delimited, and what I posted is also tab delimited. Maybe it parses some columns incorrectly? THe gene_short_name column has many commas.

Alright, this is resolved now!

A quick email from Loyal A. Goff, a cummeRbund dev. hinted at the root of the problem:

Hi Adrian,

Without being able to reproduce the error first hand, my best guess at this point is the '#' characters in your gtf file.  I think others have had issues in the past with '#' because R considers everything after this to be a comment.  Is there any way that these characters can be removed from the reference gtf and cuffdiff could be rerun?

LoyK

Column 5 has these issues, and so does the gtf file. A quick sed fixed the issue.

Adrian
