  • GATK:Unified Genotyper Error

    Hi,

    I am using GATK unified genotyper for SNP and indel calling. My code is as follows:

    $javaPath/java -Xmx4g -jar $gatkPath/GenomeAnalysisTK.jar \
    -T UnifiedGenotyper \
    -R $humanRefSequence \
    -I "$sampleID".recal.bam \
    -B:dbsnp,vcf $humanDbsnpFile \
    -nt 8 -glm BOTH \
    -stand_call_conf 50.0 -stand_emit_conf 10.0 -dcov 250 \
    -l INFO \
    -A AlleleBalance -A DepthOfCoverage -A FisherStrand \
    -log "$sampleID".GATKvariants.log -o "$sampleID".GATKvariants.raw.vcf

    However, after running few minutes it's showing the following error:

    ##### ERROR ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ##### ERROR A USER ERROR has occurred (version 1.0.5877):
    ##### ERROR The invalid arguments or inputs must be corrected before the GATK can proceed
    ##### ERROR Please do not post this error to the GATK forum

    ##### ERROR ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I looked around and couldn't find a proper solution for it. I got stuck with for quite awhile. Can anyone please tell me what is the main reason for this error and how I can overcome it?

    Many thanks in advance.

    Regards,

    the syntax for one of your parameters seems a bit unusual, is it a typo, or is it supposed to be that way?

    -B:dbsnp,vcf

      The syntax looks weird because that is a very old version, and the syntax has changed since. I strongly recommend you upgrade to a more recent version, Opulcy. The old version is buggy and slow; the newer version will be faster and give you much better results.

        Thanks for the tips. I have upgraded to the newer version. It's running fine now.

          Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
          by seqadmin


          Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
