    VCFtools empty results for TajimaD calculation

    Hi, I am trying to use the vcftools to get some summary statistics about my VCF file. The file is properly sorted and indexed. But, When I was using the following functions:

    Code:
    zcat my.sorted.vcf.gz | vcftools --vcf - --het --out het
    zcat my.sorted.vcf.gz | vcftools --vcf - --TajimaD 20 --out TajimaD
    The tool did not give out any results but a blank sheet. Here is the message from the screen printout about TajimaD, but the heterozygosity calculation displayed the similar message. My vcf file is not annotated. Do you think thats why it showed "CONTIG declaration found without ID: /A" ? Or it is because of something else, and what else could cause this? Thank you very much !

    Code:
    VCFtools - v0.1.12
    (C) Adam Auton and Anthony Marcketta 2009
    
    Parameters as interpreted:
        --vcf [stdin]
        --out TajimaD.out
        --TajimaD 20
    
    CONTIG declaration found without ID: /A
    
    After filtering, kept 81 out of 81 Individuals
    Outputting Tajima's D Statistic...
        TajimaD: Only using fully diploid sites.
    After filtering, kept 2592 out of a possible 2592 Sites
    Run Time = 1.00 seconds

    Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
    by SEQadmin2


    I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.


    Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

    From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
    by SEQadmin2


    Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


    The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
