HI

I'm working with a RNAseq pair end dataset. I'm running tophat in galaxy using the amazon cloud. My problem is when I ran tophat I was able to analyze just the half of the data (6 files). For some reason with the other 6 files tophat showed me this msn:

error An error occurred with this dataset: Fatal error: Tool execution failed [2016-03-23 04:49:57] Beginning TopHat run (v2.0.13) ----------------------------------------------- [2016-03-23 04:49:57] Checking for Bowtie Bowtie version: 2.2.3.0 [2016-03-23 04:49:58] Checking for Bowtie inde

I have 600 gb of free space, I tried several times ran tophat but all the time fail and show the same error.

Thanks

Hi clizama, Are you sure the error message you posted here is complete ? It seems truncated to me. Could we have the complete recording of tophat's logging, so that we'll be able to help you ?

I got the exact same error while using Tophat on Galaxy [2017-07-24 11:08:21] Joining segment hits [2017-07-24 11:18:01] Reporting output tracks [FAILED]

Antonio were you able to resolve this issue?

If this error is from PSU Galaxy then consider posting this over at Galaxy Biostars.

The error message is incomplete. It start indicating that it checks for the Bowtie index, but after the "x" the message is gone, so no clues about what is happening

One caution note: You need to create the bowtie index using the same prefix that the fasta reference sequence. For example, if your fasta sequence is named my_fasta.fa, you need to create the index with bowtie-build using my_fasta. It is also important to have in the same directory of the index file a copy of my_fasta.fa

Then, you need to invoque the bowtie index in Tophat by indicating the path of your indexes using the prefix only. For example path/to_your_indexed_reference/my_fasta

Bowtie will notice the prefix name my_fasta, and then, it will look into the directory for the indexed files and the reference fasta name having the same prefixes

This has been reported on and off for various Tophat versions. See:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tuxedo-tools-users/0pcEVAOCBaw

What causes tophat_reports error?

In my experience, the simplest way to workaround is to change the number of threads used.

I'm running the tophat from galaxy I'm not sure how to change the number of threads?

Can you explain me a little more please

Thanks carlos

I don't know how to do this in Galaxy, but the tophat option -p 8 would specify 8 processors. Changing this to -p 4 or -p 1 for example, generally fixes this issue in my experience.
