  • HTseq-count error: mate pairs cannot be matched

    Hi guys, I'm having some trouble running HTseq-count on paired end RNA-seq data. I use the following command to run HTse-count:

    Code:
    htseq-count -s no -a 10 Sorted.sam Homo_sapiens.GRCh37.74.gtf > Sorted.count
    And the following command is used to sort the bam prior to running HTseq-count:
    Code:
    samtools sort -n bamfile.bam sorted_bamfile
    There seems to be a problem with matching paired reads. The following error message is reported and empty .count files are generated:
    Code:
    Warning: Read HISEQ:309:C4UR9ACXX:2:1101:2467:41039 claims to have an aligned mate which could not be found. (Is the SAM file properly sorted?)
    And the relevent section of the SAM file looks like this:


    Code:
    HISEQ:309:C4UR9ACXX:2:1101:2467:41039	81	X	71494941	3	50M	19	22189602	0	GACCCTTGGTGTCATAGATCAGACGGAAATTCTCTCCCGTCTTGTCAATG	FBIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFFFIIIIFFFFFFFFFFBBB	AS:i:0	XN:i:0	XM:i:0	XO:i:0	XG:i:0	NM:i:0	MD:Z:50	YT:Z:UU	XS:A:-	NH:i:2	CC:Z:=	CP:i:71494941	HI:i:0
    HISEQ:309:C4UR9ACXX:2:1101:2467:41039	337	X	71494941	3	50M	19	22394287	0	GACCCTTGGTGTCATAGATCAGACGGAAATTCTCTCCCGTCTTGTCAATG	FBIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFFFIIIIFFFFFFFFFFBBB	AS:i:0	XN:i:0	XM:i:0	XO:i:0	XG:i:0	NM:i:0	MD:Z:50	YT:Z:UU	XS:A:-	NH:i:2	HI:i:1

    Has anyone else experienced this? Do you think its a problem with the fastq files, Tophat, Samtools, or HTseq-count?

    Thanks

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
