Breakdancer_max output is empty

[inou13]

HI ,

I am trying to use breakdancer for the first time and struggling a bit with the command lines
this is the version I have installed
breakdancer-1.1_2011_02_21

I have created my config file using
/breakdancer-1.1_2011_02_21/perl/bam2cfg.pl file#1.bam > file#1.bam.BD_config
this is the file
readgroup:NA platform:illumina map:file1#1.bam readlen:75.00 lib:NA num:9997 lower:32.49 upper:392.41 me
an:170.75 std:44.51 SWnormality:-54.43 exe:samtools view

hwne I run BreakdanceMax I create only the header of a file
/breakdancer-1.1_2011_02_21/cpp/breakdancer_max -t file#1.bam.BD_config >test.out

this is the test.out
#Command: /breakdancer-1.1_2011_02_21/cpp/breakdancer_max -t file#1.bam.BD_config
#Library Statistics:

Did you figure this out? And if you did, could you share the solution?
I also encountered this problem.
Thanks a lot!

Do you have the index bam file corresponding to your bam in the same directory?
For troubleshooting, perl version of BreakDancerMax is helpful. Error message are more clear than C version.
Hope this help.

hi,jeny
I do have the index file.
I may try perl version.
Thanks.

I have tried the BreakDancerMax.pl. Unfortunately, the output was empty expect #header, too. And there was not any error information.

Thanks all the same.
