    PeakSeq problem

    I would appreciate any help or comment if anybody experienced same problem.

    I am trying to analyze ChIPseq data with PeakSeq v1.1 on MacOS.
    I provided mapability file from http://archive.gersteinlab.org/proj/...Map/H.sapiens/ and I created chromosome list file by putting chromosome names on separate line (chr1, chr2, chr3,..)
    Processing SAM file with -preprocess option seemed work fine and .bin files were created for each chromosome.
    The problem comes in next step when I try to run it with -peak_select option.
    It returns weird kind of error message:
    Code:
    PeakSeq -peak_select config.dat
     for reading.n Chromosome_list_HG.txt
    Anybody has an idea what can cause this?


    here is the config.dat file I am using:
    Code:
    # Experiment id is used as a prefix to the output file name.
    Experiment_id IP_vs_Inp
    
    # Chromosome ID list file, is used to generate data file paths.
    chromosome_list_file Chromosome_list_HG.txt
    
    # Enrichment fragment length For tag extension, this is the value of average fragment length.
    Enrichment_fragment_length 200
    
    # Target FDR in the simulations.
    target_FDR 0.05
    
    # Number of simulations performed while estimating the putative peaks.
    N_Simulations 10
    
    # Minimum distance between consecutive peaks
    Minimum_interpeak_distance 200
    
    # Mappability file that includes the uniquely mappable number of nucleotides per window for each chromosome.
    Mappability_map_file Mapability_HG.txt
    
    # The directory that contains the preprocessed ChIP-Seq reads, can specify multiple directories to pool reads from multiple source (e.g. replicates)
    ChIP_Seq_reads_data_dirs PeakSeq_IP
    
    # The directory that contains the preprocessed Input (control) experiment reads. (Multiple directories allowed)
    Input_reads_data_dirs PeakSeq_Inp
    
    # Seed for pseudo-random number generator. This is necessary for simulated background option (specified below).
    #Simulation_seed 1234567
    
    # Q-value threshold applied on the final set of peaks.
    max_Qvalue 0.05
    
    # There are currently two models for simulating the background for threshold selection
    # Simulated background is the simulation based method that is explained in the PeakSeq paper.
    # Poisson background uses a simple Poisson background with mean estimated from the read statistics. This option is still experimental but it is much faster than the simulated background option.
    # Background_model Poisson
    Background_model Simulated

    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.
