about problems run into for samtools
Hi,guys,
I created tissue.sam file, using ./bwa samse. I tried to convert the tissue.sam file into tissue.bam, using ./samtools view -bt ref.fa.fai -o tissue.bam tissue.sam
But an error popped up. the error is as follows:
[sam_header_read2] 24 sequences loaded.
Parse error at line 1: invalid CIGAR character
Aborted
Could you kindly help me fix this problem? Thank you a lot.
Btw, I created the ref.fa.fai, using ./samtools faidx ref.fa
The content of the ref.fa.fai is as follows:

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.
