    Problem with generating GLF files in Dindel

    Hi all,

    I am running dindel in our server, and I keep having the following error:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/home/applications/dindel-1.01-python/mergeOutputPooled.py", line 620, in <module>
    main(sys.argv[1:])
    File "/home/applications/dindel-1.01-python/mergeOutputPooled.py", line 613, in main
    processPooledGLFFiles(glfFilesFile = options.inputFiles, maxHPLen = options.maxHPLen, refFile = options.refFile, outputVCFFile = options.outputFile, doNotFilterOnFR = (not options.filterFR), filterQual = int(options.filterQual), numSamples = int(options.numSamples), numBamFiles = int(options.numBAMFiles))
    File "/home/applications/dindel-1.01-python/mergeOutputPooled.py", line 277, in processPooledGLFFiles
    raise NameError("GLF files are corrupt. Could not find all required columns.")

    I am new to this tool, which is why I rely heavily on the manual. I followed every thing in the instructions (changing some file names as necessary), which is why I got baffled when I got the said error. Can anybody enlighten me on this?

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Which step are you running? The last?
    I am trying to use the same software, and I had an error message like "GLF files are corrupt" in the last step, but my problem was because in the txt file with all glf files names I put the path and the name of the files, when I removed the paths, it worked...

    I am also using the mergeOutputPooled.py option, but in the end I had a VCF file empty and I dont know what is the problem!

      Hi there. This message was sent to my SPAM folder, which is why I wasn't able to check this immediately. Anyway...

      I think it was the last part? I found out that the input for the last step should contain the absolute paths of the .glf files. When I did this, dindel finally worked.

        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.
