Dear Author of Article: CIRI: an efficient and unbiased algorithm for de novo circular RNA identification.
I downloaded CIRI2 and for running this tool based on test_data I execute below command:
perl CIRI2.pl -I test.sam -O outfile -F chr1.fa -A chr1.gtf
but I see below error:
the following chromosomes are not founds in chr1.fa: chr 16 chr6 chr17 chr 19 chr 7 chr 8 chr 2 chr 10 chr 9 chr 18 chr 20 chr 12 chr 11 chr 15 chr X chr 13 chrY chr21 chr14 chr3 chr4 chr22
Fatal error. Aborted.
I appericite if anybody share his/her comment with me.
Best regards,
Mohammad
Hi Mohammad,
Please download test_data2.zip contained in the CIRI2 folder to test CIRI2.
Thanks,
Yuan
Hi Yuan
Thanks
Mohammad
Hi Yuan,
I am using CIRI2 to analyse my data set using
Perl CIRI2 -I in.sam -O out.ciri -F reference.fa -A reference.gtf -T 4 command but getting error message
CIRI2 cannot understand reference.gtf. at CIRI.pl line 319, <anno> line 1.</anno>
DO i need to run without .gtf file in CIRI2??
Thanks
Rabbani
Hi Rabbani,
Please check the attribute column (column 9) in your reference.gtf. CIRI2 need the "gene_id" attribute for circRNA annotation. If your annotation file do not provide this information, you need to run CIRI2 without it.

Hello Jinyang,

Reference GTF looks fine. it has "gene_id" attribute

Hi Rabbani,
I am not sure what cause the problem. If the first few lines of your GTF file contain header information start with '#', you can remove them and try again.
P.S. Are you using the latest version (v2.0.6) of CIRI2? It seems that the error message is generated from an obsolute version.
Thanks,
Jinyang
If you got the error message from line 319, that is due to the reference file (FASTA) cannot be found or read. I believe the error message is like "Reference file is not readable".

Hi Yuan gao,
CIRI2 cannot understand reference.gtf. at CIRI.pl line 319, <anno> line
1.</anno>
This is the error message i have got in error long. According to Jinyang
Zhang's suggestion, i am using without GTF and it is working fine.
Could you please clarify it for me?
Thanks,

#5Could you please send the first 100 lines of GTF file to me too (gy.james@163.com)? Thanks.
Last edit: Yuan Gao 2019-08-29
Hi Golam,
I think I know what the problem is. There are 420 lines in your GTF which do not have the key words “gene_id”. For example, "NC_035898.1 Gnomon exon 10221156 10221698 . - . transcript_id "id17563"; gene_name "LOC111194270”;". Please remove or modify these lines so that CIRI2 can run successfully.
Thanks,
Yuan
Dear Yuan,
I want to ask you one more question. If i run ciri without gtf i win not
have information of circular rna type and gene id but will it predict
circular rna correctly?
Thanks
Rabbani

#5As we mentioned in our paper and manual, CIRI is a de novo detection tool, which does not depend on annotation for detecting loci of circRNAs on reference genome and can be used for non-model organisms without complete annotation. The annotation can be used for output of gene ID for detected circRNAs or as a complementary filtration in addition to GT-AG splicing signals, but the detected circRNAs are almost the same whether annotation is provided or not.
Hello JinYang,
I have tried V2.0.6 , v2.0.5 and v2.0.5. ALL of the virsion have same error message. HOwever, with CIRI1 it was fine. since i need strand info, i want to use CIRI2.
N.B : I have checked my GTF file and there is no header sequence that starts with '#' .

Hi Rabbani,
Sorry for the inconvenience. Could you send the GTF file or first 100 lines of it to my email zhangjinyang@biols.ac.cn ? I will check why CIRI2 failed to load your annotation file.
Thanks,
Jinyang
Hello Jinyang,
I have send you the gtf file. Please check your email.
Thanks
Rabbani
