macs2 -- peak calling error on non-model genome

[grgmncr]

Hi there,

I'm attempting to use macs2 (v 2.0.10 20120605 (tag:alpha)) to call peaks from a ChIP-seq experiment on a non-model organism (sea star).

Whenever I call this:

macs2 callpeak -t ip.bam -c inp.bam -f BAM -g 8e+8 --bw 250 -m 10 30 -p 1e-5 --to-large -n TbrChIP-20140729

macs runs through reading the tags and begins building the peak model. However, it seems to get stuck at the same place each time and throws the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Exception: No such chromosome name (Scaffold17961) in TrackI object!

It seems that macs can't find the chromosome (scaffold) named Scaffold17961. I checked and it appears in both the original fasta and the bowtie index I built prior to mapping. Any ideas about how I might be able to get around this issue?
