I am analyzing alternative splicing (AS) events in my samples. I need to find out the functional domain which is altered by AS. When I tested ASTAFUNK with sample data, it worked fine.
I have genome annotation file (GTF file generated from cufflinks output) for my samples. But when I tried ASTAFUNK, I am getting java.lang.NullPointerException. Is there any problem with the GTF file? Could you please let me know where I have gone wrong. I have attached example format of my sample GTF file
