  • Picard Issue

    I am having an issue with a BAM file in picard. I tried to run AddOrReplaceReadGroups on the file and got the following error, and this is with VALIDATION_STRINGENCY=SILENT:

    Exception in thread "main" net.sf.samtools.SAMFormatException: For sequence 0, text and binary have different lengths in file

    When I tried to run ValidateSamFile, I get the same error. What is wrong with my BAM file that it would be giving me this error, especially with VALIDATION_STRINGENCY=SILENT? Thanks.

    Just taking a blind guess from what you posted, it looks like the bam file and the index do not match. I'd try regenerating the index using samtools and check if it helps.

    Also check if anything in the bam header looks suspicious, like the contig shows zero length and things like that.

      Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
      by seqadmin



      Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...

      Non-Coding RNA Research and Technologies
      by seqadmin




      Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) do not code for proteins but play important roles in numerous cellular processes including gene silencing, developmental pathways, and more. There are numerous types including microRNA (miRNA), long ncRNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), and more. In this article, we discuss innovative ncRNA research and explore recent technological advancements that improve the study of ncRNAs.
