i just do some practice on ballgown and stringtie , and i got some GTF file and ballgown`s file. however, i just find i cant use R or something else to deliver a excel file which contain FPKM. i think the excel file i want maybe looks like this :

gene_id      FPKM
    A        124
    B        541   
    C        122

please help me ,thanks a lot :)

Can you paste a few sample lines from the GTF file you are working with?

this is the top ten lines:

1 StringTie transcript 337772 338047 1000 + . gene_id "Zm00001d027250"; transcript_id "Zm00001d027250_T001"; cov "66.076088"; FPKM "8.407302"; TPM "14.141658"; 1 StringTie exon 337772 338047 1000 + . gene_id "Zm00001d027250"; transcript_id "Zm00001d027250_T001"; exon_number "1"; cov "66.076088"; 1 StringTie transcript 426764 432130 1000 + . gene_id "Zm00001d027254"; transcript_id "Zm00001d027254_T001"; cov "2.043083"; FPKM "0.259955"; TPM "0.437262"; 1 StringTie exon 426764 426798 1000 + . gene_id "Zm00001d027254"; transcript_id "Zm00001d027254_T001"; exon_number "1"; cov "0.000000"; 1 StringTie exon 426869 426970 1000 + . gene_id "Zm00001d027254"; transcript_id "Zm00001d027254_T001"

i think maybe a python script can extract the fpkm , but i dont know how to edit a complex python script.so i want to find some software to do this work.thanks a lot

Form StringTie output you can use 'sample1_gene_abund.tab' file to extract these information,

FPKM:

cat {sample1}_gene_abund.tab | cut -d$'\t' -f1,8 | sed "s/FPKM/sample1_FPKM/" | sed 's/Gene ID/gene_id/' > {sample1}_gene_abund.fpkm.txt

TPM:

cat {sample1}_gene_abund.tab | cut -d$'\t' -f1,9 | sed "s/TPM/sample1_TPM/" | sed 's/Gene ID/gene_id/' > {sample1}_gene_abund.tpm.txt

thank you firstly ,i will try it i got another question here , i always think the gene FPKM is a sums of its all transcript FPKM , is that right ? thanks a lot

It is not always the case. There are also cases like this where it depends on the quantification approach,

You can use standard unix commands for this as follows:

$ cat stringtie.txt
1  StringTie  transcript  337772  338047  1000  +  .  gene_id "Zm00001d027250"; transcript_id "Zm00001d027250_T001"; cov "66.076088"; FPKM "8.407302"; TPM "14.141658";
1  StringTie  exon        337772  338047  1000  +  .  gene_id "Zm00001d027250"; transcript_id "Zm00001d027250_T001"; exon_number "1"; cov "66.076088";
1  StringTie  transcript  426764  432130  1000  +  .  gene_id "Zm00001d027254"; transcript_id "Zm00001d027254_T001"; cov "2.043083"; FPKM "0.259955"; TPM "0.437262";
1  StringTie  exon        426764  426798  1000  +  .  gene_id "Zm00001d027254"; transcript_id "Zm00001d027254_T001"; exon_number "1"; cov "0.000000";
1  StringTie  exon        426869  426970  1000  +  .  gene_id "Zm00001d027254"; transcript_id "Zm00001d027254_T001"
$ grep 'FPKM' temp.txt | cut -f9 | sed -r 's/gene_id "([^"]*).*FPKM "([^"]*).*/\1\t\2/g' | sed '1i#gene_id\tFPKM'
#gene_id        FPKM
Zm00001d027250  8.407302
Zm00001d027254  0.259955

How can we get transcript level TPM values instead of gene level TPM values, I have tried to replace gene_id with transcript_id but it didn't work for me?

Assuming that your GTF file is same as above, you can do the following: 

$ grep 'TPM' temp.txt | cut -f9 | sed -r 's/.*transcript_id "([^"]*).*TPM "([^"]*).*/\1\t\2/g' | sed '1i#transcript_id\tTPM'

Many thanks for your response, it work fine most of the lines till the pattern sustains like:

gene_id "MSTRG.26629"; transcript_id "AT5G53360.2"; cov "14.228090"; FPKM "5.268032"; TPM "8.616198";

But generates error when ref_gene_name in 9th column contains TPM letters in gene name (ATPMEPCRF)

gene_id "MSTRG.26631"; transcript_id "AT5G53370.1"; ref_gene_name "ATPMEPCRF"; cov "279.969208"; FPKM "103.660202"; TPM "169.542801";

Can you please check this issue?

Simple solution will be,

grep -w "TPM"

OR

grep " TPM "

OR

grep "; TPM "
