    picard add read groups

    Hi all,

    I've been trying to get around this problem for the last couple of days and |I haven't been able to do anything myself and haven't seen any solutions in any forums. Here's my problem:
    My data in a single lane run of illumina Truseq with 24 indexed samples. All the steps have been run using a bash script so all files have been processed in exactly the same way with exactly the same parameters.
    I have converted sam to bam, sorted, indexed and removed duplicates.
    Next I index the files then I perform the realignment around indels
    Then I fix the PE using picard
    Then for some reason it asks me to add header info using picard.
    I've done this for all files but when I've gone to the next step of quality count recalibration there are 5 files that fail.
    When I count the reads (using bamtools) before and after adding the header info I go from 4,032,483 to 3,578,753 reads in the bad files but 4,625,944 to 4,625,834 reads in the other 19 files that have worked.
    GATK keeps giving me an end of file EOF error and it looks like these 5 files are truncated but why just 5 out of 19 files processed in exactly the same way?
    I kow this is a bit of a long winded question but has anyone else had a similar problem?

    Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
    by SEQadmin2



    Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

    There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

    Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing

    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...
