Oh thanks!
My fasta file was in a directory which required permission for writing onto.
I was running the command from a separate directory and assumed the new file would be created in this directory instead of the one that contained my .fasta file. Solves my problem.

Have you checked the permissions for the directory where the .fai file is going to be written, and also, that there is enough space on the computer to write the .fai file?Leave a comment:

creating .fai from .fa file using samtools faidx command
Hi everyone,
I am trying to create a FASTA index from a FASTA file using samtools:
./samtools faidx /home/krathi/data/ChIPseq/mm9/mm9.fa
but it shows me the error:
[fai_build] fail to write FASTA index /home/krathi/data/ChIPseq/mm9/mm9.fa.fai

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...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
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...
