this is my header , I checked with samtools flagstat my new bam file after I did reheader

15158685 + 0 in total (QC-passed reads + QC-failed reads)
0 + 0 duplicates
13730482 + 0 mapped (90.58%:-nan%)
0 + 0 paired in sequencing
0 + 0 read1
0 + 0 read2
0 + 0 properly paired (-nan%:-nan%)
0 + 0 with itself and mate mapped
0 + 0 singletons (-nan%:-nan%)
0 + 0 with mate mapped to a different chr
0 + 0 with mate mapped to a different chr (mapQ>=5)

I checked my bam file manually but I don't see any problem . I am not sure why I am getting segmentation error

Please give the exact command that produced this and the version of samtools that you're using.

hey anusha,

there is no error in general while using samtools index, the command line is very simple. let us know what command r u using.

Cross verify whether ur previous steps of samtools are correct or not.

Hi,
Thanks it is working . Bam header is not sorted that why it give segmentation error .
