Read count using htseq-count.

Hi

I was trying to load .bam file (Star output) to do read count using htseq-count.

I get this error.

Error occured when processing GFF file (line 3012 of file /ref_genome/stre.gff):
  Feature rna-SCOt01 does not contain a 'gene_name' attribute
  [Exception type: ValueError, raised in count.py:76]

this is a my gff file

looks like you don't have "gene_name" in your gff file. If you look closer, you actually have it written as "Name". You can modify the attribute htseq-count is pointing to with -i flag. See the manual

I am sorry, I tried with "Name" but still not working, "locus_tag" works but gives zero count.

tput_basename.counts SCOr01 0 SCOr02 0 SCOr03 0 SCOr04 0 SCOr05 0 SCOr06 0 SCOr07 0 SCOr08 0 SCOr09 0 SCOr10 0 Any help is appreciated.

Try with ID then, it is a problem of the attribute not being recognized

I tried it, it doesn't work!
