RCS TopHat Example

Directory Structure

Notes

1. To view all available TopHat versions on SCC, execute:

    [scc1 ] module avail tophat

2. Before run tophat, first to load tophat and bowtie2 module to make the command available:

    [scc1 ] module load bowtie2/2.4.2  # though tophat can work with old bowtie (bowtie1), it's rare usage. So suggest to load bowtie2 as the backend aligner for tophat
    [scc1 ] module load tophat/2.1.1

Command Line Examples

Ex1: run tophat on single end reads, in the example, we use '--num-threads 2' to specify using two cores:

    [scc1 ]  tophat --num-threads 2 --no-coverage-search -o out/tophat_se ref/test_ref data/reads_1.fq
* the screen output from the above command can be seen in out/tophat_se.out ** and the tophat mapping result is put in out/tophat_se.

Ex2: run tophat on pair end reads, using two cores:

    [scc1 ]  tophat --num-threads 2 --no-coverage-search -o out/tophat_pe ref/test_ref data/reads_1.fq data/reads_2.fq
* the screen output from the above command can be seen in out/tophat_pe.out ** and the tophat mapping result is put in out/tophat_pe/.

Batch Job Example:

You can write a qsub script to combine many operations together, including adding some pre- and/or post-processing using other tools. An example qsub is in qsub/tophat_job.qsub

    [scc1 ] cd qsub # get into the qsub script location
    [scc1 ] qsub tophat_job.qsub

After the above job's completion, there will be two files in qlog/ looks like:

And the output files generated from this job are in data/, start with 'bowtie2_example_SRR030257.xxx
