Efficiently merge two BAM files while retaining reads from only one file in overlapping regions 1 I have a WGS BAM file that is fairly large (>150GB) and a smaller BAM file (<5GB) with reads in a small 10Mbp region. I want to (efficiently) merge the two BAM files while…

[*] I have been trying to follow the GATK Best Practice Workflow for ‘Data pre-processing for variant discovery’ (gatk.broadinstitute.org/hc/en-us/articles/360035535912). This has all been run on Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 on the Bash shell. I started off with FASTQ files from IGSR (www.internationalgenome.org/data-portal) and performed alignment with Bowtie2 (instead of…

is BBMap/Qualimap affected by log4j vulnerability 2 no, unless the tools are used as a library in a web server. It’s worth noting picard.jar and abra.jar are affected (even though as Pierre L says, these are unlikely to be attacked on most systems). If you’re responsible for systems, esp web…

I’ve got sequencing data for a small 500 bp amplicon from a few samples. GATK best principles suggest running VariantRecalibrator on the GVCF files I generate. I’m trying to get this working, but I get an error about “Found annotations with zero variances”. Reading the gatk manual and other posts…

Hi Lucas, got a weird one for you. If I change the caller from hapotypecaller to freebayes, I get the error below. It’s doubly strange because it seems to occur well before freebayes would be used in the pipeline.

Trouble running vcf2bam jvarkit tool 2 I am trying to use the tool called vcf2bam from jvarkit on a server and I have the following 2 files: GRCh38_latest_genomic.fna – the file is of format FASTQ , and 00-common_all.vcf. I used samtools faidx and also picard CreateSequenceDictionary, but when I try…

converting Bam to fastq while removing clipping(hard/soft clip bases) 0 Hello, I want to do some analysis and my raw data is paired-end reads fastq files. So far: I used BWA mem to convert them to Sam file then used samtools to convert to BAM file. My next step is…

Liftover nonmodel VCF 1 Hi all, I have a FASTA genome assembly and a VCF for my (nonmodel) study species. Now I want to liftover the VCF to the Zebra Finch genome (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/assembly/GCF_003957565.1). I’ve found Picard LiftOver GATK and CrossMap, but both require a UCSC chain file, which apparently can…

Forum:Troubleshooting Tips – bcl2fastq creates duplicate reads 1 Hi, I have seen a few times where bcl2fastq (v2.20) will produce duplicate FASTQ entries in sequencing read IDs, raw sequences, & quality scores. This causes issues with downstreams tools like Picard MarkDuplicates (e.g. Exception in thread “main” htsjdk.samtools.SAMException: Value was put…

Error in merged bam files 0 Hello I am trying to merge unmapped and mapped bam files. I merged the bam files using the picard tool (gatk.broadinstitute.org/hc/en-us/articles/360036883871-MergeBamAlignment-Picard). I checked the merged bam using ValidateSamFile command (gatk.broadinstitute.org/hc/en-us/articles/360036854731-ValidateSamFile-Picard-) and it showed the below errors: Error Type Count ERROR:MATES_ARE_SAME_END 5496 ERROR:MISMATCH_FLAG_MATE_NEG_STRAND 5478 ERROR:MISMATCH_MATE_CIGAR_STRING…

Significance Small and isolated populations have low genetic variation due to founding bottlenecks and genetic drift. Few empirical studies demonstrate visible phenotypic change associated with drift using genetic data in endangered species. We used genomic analyses of a captive tiger pedigree to identify the genetic basis for a rare trait,…

Picard CalculateHsMetrics perTargetCoverage for Novaseq bams 0 Hello, I would like to use Picard’s CalculateHsMetrics to calculate per target coverage for Novaseq bam files. It seems that the tool is not able to calculate mean/normalized coverage for Novaseq bams but works well with Hiseq bams. Novaseq bams report quality scores…

allele balance gatk 0 Hi, I am trying to calculate allele balance for both the heterozygous (.40 to .60 ) and homozygous base through vcf file. plz let me know how to achieve it through gatk. I tried using FilterVCF(picard) command as follows –I inputFile.vcf –MIN_AB -O outputfile. I would…

Hi Everyone, I am currently looking at Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) paired-end WGS samples from the TARGET data ocg.cancer.gov/programs/target/target-methods#3241. A bioinformatician in our group remapped the samples from hg19 to hg38. Unfortunately, we do not have any copies of the hg19 version anymore. However, when I try to run anything…

Hello I have started using snakemake 6.5.2 to align fastq files with reference file. I have pasted the error below in this question. How to allocate memory in the snakefile and read the header from samfile, ‘-‘. This is the snakefile (wrapper for running alignment): rule bwa_mem2_mem: input: reads=[“/scicore/home/cichon/GROUP/test_workflow/samples/{sample}.1.fq”, “/scicore/home/cichon/GROUP/test_workflow/samples/{sample}.2.fq”]…

Mapping reads and quantifying genes – Metagenomic workshop 0 Hello, I am using the following metagenomic workshop tutorial to analyse my own metagenomic data. metagenomics-workshop.readthedocs.io/en/latest/annotation/quantification.html I performed the following steps: mapped reads with bowtie2 and generated .bam file with samtools sort. Removed duplicates with picard Extracted gene information from prokka…

Can I sort my bam files with Picard MergeSamFiles? 0 Hi! I noticed this in the picard MergeSamFiles help: –SORT_ORDER,-SO:SortOrder Sort order of output file Default value: coordinate. Possible values: {unsorted, queryname, coordinate, duplicate, unknown} Does this mean that it is unnecessary to use picard SortSam before? can MergeSamFiles do…

Missing read group in BAM files 1 Hello everyone, I have processed PE reads through the pipeline HybPiper to align them to a reference genome with GATK. But inspecting the output BAM files with the GATK tool ValidateSamFile, I found out a very common error in the error report: WARNING::RECORD_MISSING_READ_GROUP…

Looking for a tool which provides mapping quality score distributions from BAM files 0 Hello BioStars, Is there a tool which generates mapping quality score distributions from bam files? I know I could potentially do this myself, but I am looking for something which would essentially do the work for…

So many variants detected. 0 Dear All, I have done variant calling in Germline data that has single sample of each individual and two genes. I did following steps, but after checking results I found too many variants. After Haplotypecaller (the step 6) I found 140900 known variants, and the…
