Ensembl Gtf Cuffmerge Duplicates

Hi,

I've downloaded two GTF files based on the Ensembl annotation, both of which fail when running gffread -E on them, stating that it cannot parse.

Ensembl Homo Sapiens - http://cufflinks.cbcb.umd.edu/igenomes.html (Using the genes.gtf from the annotation directory) - http://www.ensembl.org/info/data/ftp/index.html (GTF Gene Set)

I've ran the Tophat -> Cufflinks pipes so far, and when getting to the Cuffmerge stage, I get a duplicate entry error. I grepped the annotation GTF file and there doesn't appear to be any duplicates.

If anyone has any suggestions it'd be greatly appreciated, thanks!

duplicates cuffmerge ensembl gtf

what did you grep for?

Hi Andrew,

I am running cuffmerge using cufflinks v2.1.1 and I ran into the exact same problem you mentioned above. I was wondering if you ever figured it out?

Thanks,
Ellie

Hi Ellie ... This was a long time ago... I honestly can't remember how I went about fixing it. Have you considered using the most up to date GTF, rather than the iGenomes release?? (from here)
