    MarkDuplicates not working on CG BAM files?

    Hi everyone,

    I've created some BAM files from some Complete Genomics data using their conversion script so I can run it through a GATK/Picard pipeline and everything seems to be running sweet until I get to run the IndelRealigner. I seem to keep getting a duplicate record error from IndelRealigner, whether I use MarkDuplicates with REMOVE_DUPLICATE = true or false.

    java -Xmx12g -Xms12g -jar ~/apps/picard/MarkDuplicates.jar INPUT=recal_GS14972.bam OUTPUT=GS14972_dedup_test.bam METRICS_FILE=GS14972_dedup_test.metrics REMOVE_DUPLICATES=false CREATE_INDEX=true CREATE_MD5_FILE=true TMP_dir=~/recal_GS14972

    ##### ERROR ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ##### ERROR A USER ERROR has occurred (version 2.3-9-ge5ebf34):
    ##### 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    There are clear duplicates in the input files, but it appears that MarkDuplicates is not finding them (the metrics file shows no found duplicates). Looking by eye I can only see differences between the reads at ZA and ZI columns, but I've been unable to identify their meaning.

    I'd really appreciate any thoughts or comments that would help me progress with this analysis.

    Thanks.

    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
