    BFAST match abort trap

    Hello,

    I am trying to analyze SOLiD data using BFAST, and am a little new to the system. I have successfully created and indexed the reference genome, but I am running into problems with BFAST match. I get an error message saying:

    Reading /ResearchFiles/JEC21_genome/CNA_assembly/BFAST/NIH433_fastq_reads.1.fastq into a temp file.
    Assertion failed: (m->readLength > 0), function RGMatchPrint, file ../bfast/RGMatch.c, line 155.
    Abort trap

    My command line is bfast match -f JEC21_all.fasta -r NIH433_fastq_reads.1.fastq > NIH433_JEC21_matched

    I also created the input fastq file using the solid2fastq program that came with the BFAST package.

    Any idea what is causing this?

    Thanks,

    BB

    Most likely the input fastq is corrupted. You can either try to re-run solid2fastq, or remove reads from the input fastq until you find the offending read.

      Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
      by SEQadmin2


      I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

      Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

      From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
      by SEQadmin2


      Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


      The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
