    Issue with Opening BAM Files in rMATS on WSL Environment

    Hello SEQanswers Community,

    I am encountering a persistent issue when trying to run rMATS (RNA-Seq-MATS) on a Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) environment. Despite following the standard setup and execution procedures, rMATS consistently fails to open the specified BAM files for analysis. I am seeking assistance in troubleshooting and resolving this issue.

    Environment Details:

    Operating System: Windows 10 with WSL Linux Distribution in WSL: Ubuntu-20.04 rMATS Version: [Specify the version of rMATS you are using] Python Version: [Specify the version of Python used] Problem Description: When executing the rMATS script with properly formatted input files, it systematically fails to open the BAM files, and the process ends with a Python ValueError. The issue occurs despite confirming that the BAM files are accessible and readable within the WSL environment.

    Error Messages: The primary error messages received are as follows: Fail to open /mnt/c/Users/u253262/Documents/Output/sample_x_Aligned.sortedByCoord.out.bam [...similar messages for other BAM files...] ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '/mnt/c/Users/u253262/Documents/Output/sample_x_Aligned.sortedByCoord.out.bam'

    Steps Taken:

    Confirmed that the BAM files are accessible in WSL by running Python scripts and basic Linux commands (ls, head). Ensured that file paths are correctly formatted for WSL, using absolute paths. Attempted running rMATS with different subsets of BAM files. [Any other troubleshooting steps you've taken] I am looking for insights into what might be causing this issue and how to resolve it. Is this a known problem with rMATS in a WSL environment, or could it be related to how file paths are handled in the script? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you for your time and assistance.

    Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
    by SEQadmin2



    Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

    Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

    New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
    by SEQadmin2


    Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

    We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
