I have been working on RNA-Seq data from last 6 months, and I am able to create accepted_hits.bam
file for paired end data, but I am not able to create the accepted_hits.bam
file for single end data using Tophat.
The command line I used for single end data is:
Tophat -p 12 -G hg19.gtf -o C1_R1_thout genome SRR154213.fastq
Tophat -p 12 -G hg19.gtf -o C1_R2_thout genome SRR154214.fastq
After running this command I got the accepted_hits.bam
which is of 600 byte size file which is not correct aligned file.
Please let me know if I have to change the command line arguments.
Thank you
You presumably received an error message at some point...
There was no error while running tophat, the Tophat ran successfully for 2 hours using above command ..
Even if the bam wasn't written, a log should have been, what was contained in that?
Hello andrew.j.skelton73 and Devon Ryan sir,
This is my log file content which tells about successfully completion of alignment, but still the accepted_hit.bam is of 1kb
What are the contents of "C1_R1_tophout/align_summary.txt"? If it says that you should have alignments then try producing an unsorted SAM file rather than the sorted BAM file (i.e., use --no-convert-bam). That unsorted SAM file is actually produced first anyway, so this should be faster and allow you to start narrowing down where the error is occurring.
