    IllegalArgumentException (Scripture.jar)

    Hi all,

    I'm trying to run Scripture.jar which I have downloaded from the Broad institute website: http://www.broadinstitute.org/softwa...ipture/?q=home
    I'm on a Mac and I have java 6 and 7 (I know that by checking /utilites/java preferences). For the sake of practice, I'm trying to run the walkthrough exercise in the tutorial for this software (http://www.broadinstitute.org/softwa...hrough_example)... in step 7 you need to run scripture with the sam file you have generated in the previous steps and afterwards downloading the mouse size file and the mouse chr19 sequence... this is the command line I'm using:
    >>java –jar scripture.jar –alignment all_alignments.sorted.sam –out chr19.scriptureESTest.segments –sizeFile mm9.sizes –chr chr19 –chrSequence chr19.fa
    However, I'm getting this response:
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Argument alignment is mandatory
    Does anyone know what the problem is....
    I appreciate your support

    Hello,
    I had the same problem but I solved it by using the scripture-beta2.jar program that you can download at ftp://ftp.broadinstitute.org/pub/pap...ture-beta2.jar

    Best,
    Riccardo

      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...
