Hello Janice, Are you using the public Main Galaxy instance at http://usegalaxy.org? Would you be able to submit this as a bug report? Thanks, Jen Galaxy team On 2/10/14 11:07 AM, Janice Patterson wrote:

I am analyzing RNA-seq data and I ran Cufflinks with the genes.gtf as a reference annotation guide, with bias correction using the genome.fa as a reference.

When I subsequently attempt to run cuffmerge on my assembled transcript files, however, I get the following errors, and cuffmerge fails.

Error: duplicate GFF ID 'CUFF.1.1' encountered! [FAILED] Error: could not execute gtf_to_sam

I am using the same genes.gtf file I used for cufflinks. It is the genes.gtf file attained from the Data Libraries provided by galaxy.

I ran Cufflinks on the same data set without bias correction (and therefore a genome.fa file was unnecessary) and no multi-read correct, and subsequent cuffmerge with the same genes.gtf file provided ran just fine.

Why did turning on bias correction and providing cufflinks with a fasta reference file making cuffmerge fail?

Thanks.
