Hello!
I'm having trouble getting CNCI to work. I have a gtf file of some novel transcripts and some annotated trasncripts from the mouse genome. I would like to determine if the transcripts are coding or noncoding. So, I am using CNCI. I see the following from CNCI github page:
CNCI.py: A classification tool for identify coding or non-coding transcripts (fasta files and gtf files)
Parameters:
-f or --file : input files
-o or --out : assign your output file in current directory (this parameter will produce a Temp sub-folder in current directory, and will remove it automatically at the end of programming), and the result is stored in xxx.index
-p or --parallel : assign the running CUP numbers
-m or --model : assign the classification models ("ve" for vertebrate species, "pl" for plat species)
-g or --gtf : if you input files is gtf format please use this parameter
-d or --directory : if you use the -g or --gtf this parameter must be assigned, within this parameter please assign the path of your reference genome.
EXAMPLE
you can use CNCI subroutines like our example:
python CNCI_package/CNCI.py -f unannotation.gtf -g -o test -m ve -p 8 -d hg19.2bit
So, I tried the following:
python CNCI.py candidate_lncs.gtf -g -o test -m ve -p 16 -d ./dbase GRCm38.primary_assembly.genome.fa
and I recieved the following error:
name@server %57> CNCI.py -f candidate_lncs.gtf -g -o test -m ve -p 16 -d ~/dataBase/GRCm38.2bit
/home/pgian1/src/CNCI
sh: 1: twoBitToFa: not found
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "CNCI.py", line 533, in <module>
GtfInFiles = open(fastaFiles)
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'candidate_lncs.gtf.fa'
It looks to me that CNCI is trying to read my GTF file as a fasta file. I'm not sure why though. I thought CNCI will take a gtf file and the relevant genome and determine the probability of coding/noncoding using nucleotide triplates.
**
So my question is: Am I implementing CNCI correctly? If not, what am I missing?
**
Thank you all in advance!
EDIT: for clarity - The twoBitToFa script is in my path so I'm not sure about that error either...
