    Error when calling fusion junctions with MapSplice

    We want to compare the results of different tools that call splice junctions using RNA-seq data.

    Now, I try to call fusion junctions with MapSplice (1.15.2).

    My input reads are 100nt in length and in fastq format.

    Example:

    Code:
    @xxxyyyzzz
    AGATGCACTACCACCCAGCCTATCAGGACAGGCCAAGCCTGAGGACAGTGACTGTCACAGAAAAATAGAAACTTGTGGTTCCAGGAAATCCGAGAGGTCT
    +
    IIHIHIHHIHHIHHGHHFGIGHGGGGIIIHHNKIJKIJELHCJFFGLIMLHLGLIAHBIEGFFDJQDAE>HIJHOIMLHAHGGHMPGHIFEJMDVJBEOM
    I'm calling Mapsplice as follows (basically copy and pasted from the MapSpliceManual, just added the --fusion parameter):

    Code:
    python mapsplice_segments.py -u reads.fq -c [somewhere]/genome/hg19/singleChroms/ -B [somewhere]/genome/bowtie/hg19 -Q fq -X 5 -L 25 --fusion
    MapSplice quits with an error:

    Code:
    [Thu Oct 25 11:24:45 2012] Checking for chromosomes files or directory
    [Thu Oct 25 11:24:45 2012] Checking for chromosomes files or directory passed

    error: open bwtmap file mapsplice_out/tmp/unspliced_mapped_segments.sorted error
            [FAILED]
    Error: mapsplice_report failed
    The file mapspliceout/tmp/unsplicedmapped_segments.sorted exists and is not empty.
    When I turn of the --fusion parameter, MapSplice finishes with no errors.

    Has anyone an idea, where the problem might be?

    I also tried to contact the developer directly (10/25/2012:[email protected]). They haven't answered yet.

      Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
      by SEQadmin2



      Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

      Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

      New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
      by SEQadmin2


      Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

      We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
