    tophat v2.0.7 segment-based junction search error -11

    Greetings
    I am using a set of scripts to submit and run tophat jobs that has worked well in the past. Lately I have seen runs crash with errors that I am having a hard time connecting to data or parameters, e.g.,

    Error: segment-based junction search failed with err =-11
    BAM read: invalid CIGAR operation

    Here are the parameters I used,
    params="-p 8 --no-coverage-search"

    I checked all the bam files in /tmp directory with the picard ValidateSamFile tool. I see errors about "out of coordinate order" in files tophat wrote. I checked the input fastq files and they appear to be in the same order and properly formed for the first 10 records at least. I see nothing abouT CIGAR in the ValidateSamFile output

    We recently changed schedulers from moab to lsf. I checked to be sure that the submission command restricted the job to a single node. It does.

    I'm at a loss for what to check next. Anybody have any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Mike

    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
