    GATK Error: Bad input-no usable data in BAM

    Hi,

    I am running exome analysis using BWA, samtools, picard, and GATK. When I reached GATK CountCovariates tool, I recieved an error: "Bad input: Could not find any usable data in the input BAM file(s)."

    The bam file I used as input for CountCovariates was generated by samtools from BWA sam files. I merged my bam files using picard, used AddorReplaceReadGroups, sorted and indexed using samtools, used Markduplicates to create a dedup.bam file, samtools to index that dedup.bam file, used RealignerTargetCreator, used IndelRealigner to create a realigned.bam and used that realigned.bam as input for the CountCovariate tool.

    Any idea what is going on?

    Script:

    I'm kind of stuck here and don't really know why I am getting this error. I can't find this error in the forum. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
    by SEQadmin2


    Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

    The systematic characterization of the human proteome has

    Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
    by SEQadmin2



    Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

    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...
