    Problem with vcf file generated

    Hi,

    I have generated a vcf file from a bam file and reference sequence using the following command

    samtools faidx input.reference.fa
    samtools index sortedhg19.bam
    samtools mpileup -d 8000 -uf input.reference.fa my.sortedhg19.bam | bcftools view -bvcg -> my.raw.bcf
    bcftools view my.raw.bcf | perl vcfutils.pl varFilter -D8000 > my.flt.vcf

    But when i validated my VCF file using vcf-validator its giving the following error message

    The header tag 'reference' not present. (Not required but highly recommended.)
    The header tag 'contig' not present for CHROM=chr1. (Not required but highly recommended.)
    INFO field at chr1:10007 .. Could not validate the float [-nan]

    Can any one help me to fix the third error message .

    Can anyone know how to format the reference sequence.?

    I have generated VCF file using ref seq in order of chromosomes 1,11,12...19,2,21,..
    and also in order 1,2,3... . But in both cases this error exists

    Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

    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...
