I am trying to run htseq-count for carrying out rna-seq analysis for solanum tuberosum and i used the following command:
htseq-count --format bam --order pos -s no -a 10 -t exon -i gene_name --idattr gene_id SO_8612_L1.bam GCF_000226075.1_SolTub_3.0_genomic.gff > L1_htseq_count.tsv
and im getting an error message saying:
[E::idx_find_and_load] Could not retrieve index file for 'SO_8612_L1.bam'
Error processing GFF file (line 12 of file GCF_000226075.1_SolTub_3.0_genomic.gff):
Feature exon-XM_015312074.1-1 does not contain a 'gene_id' attribute
[Exception type: ValueError, raised in features.py:326]
How to resolve this? and also can gff be used instead of gtf file. what is the standard gtf file used for Solanum tuberosum?
Log in to answer this question.
well, the error message does says a few thing already :
yes, you can use a gff in stead of gtf file.
Thank you. How do i fix the gff file and make it suitable for this analysis?
add the gene_id tag to each line with the correct value, or get a correct gff file from somewhere, or adjust your commandline if there is a more suitable attribute/tag in the file (perhaps it says geneid or gene or parent ...), you need to have a common attribute present in all lines.
alternative is perhaps to have a look at FeatureCount in stead of htseq-count, that one is for sure faster and might be more lenient to gff formatting.
Ok will look into FeatureCount and also is it better to use gtf or a gff while running stringtie?
Hello lavanyac790!
It appears that your post has been cross-posted to another site: https://bioinformatics.stackexchange.com/questions/15023/query-on-htseq-count
This is typically not recommended as it runs the risk of annoying people in both communities.
Sorry for repeated post. Will not do it again
