    Bowtie2 aligner or Samtools error

    Hello everyone,
    I am relatively new to NGS data analysis , however I have managed to learn how to analyse RNA-seq and CHIP-seq data. I have written some basic python scripts to automate the steps and they had been working up until recently, meaning I have gotten results such as txt files from differential expression analysis after quantification or valid files from peak calling. I stopped using my scripts for about 2 weeks since i didnt have any more data for that period and when i came back 3 days ago and tried to analyse several new sets of sra files from GEO , the same error keeps occuring for every file that i am trying to analyse. Basically the error occurs right after the alignment with bowtie2 when i try to convert the sam files to bam showing a parse error at a specific line or incomplete aux field. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I also apologise if this format is not the proper one for questions, it is my first time asking for help in forums in general. I am mentioning the commands because the error occurs both when i run my script and when i just write the commands manually in the terminal for each file.
    commands : bowtie2 -p 6 -x {genome_index_path} -U {fastq-file} -S {output-sam-file}
    samtools -b -o {output-bam-file} {output-sam-file}

    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
