    Error while running ContEst

    I am trying to run ContEst(http://www.broadinstitute.org/cancer/cga/contest)

    Below is the command and options I used:

    java -Xmx1200m -jar ContEst.jar \
    -T Contamination \
    -I test.bam \
    -R hg19_GATK_Ref.fa \
    -L target_bed_file.bed \
    -Bop,vcf hg19_population_stratified_af_hapmap_3.3.with.chr.vcf \
    -B:genotypes,vcf test.vcf \
    -BTI genotypes \
    -o test.vcf.contest.out.txt

    Here is the error report:

    INFO 17:18:47,638 TraversalEngine - chr15:65621857 1.48e+06 5.2 m 3.5 m 72.4% 7.2 m 119.5 s

    It seems to be some issue with chr15 because I tried it with 3 different bams files and the reference used to generate those bams is also same(same as the one I used with ContEst).

    I am unable to find any such issue reported by anyone else.

    Anybody else having this issue or knows a way around ??

    Even I had the same error while running ContEst exactly at chr14-15.
    Try it out with smaller bam files it works!

    Anybody solved this error?

      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.
