    SplitNCigarReads exception

    Hi all,

    I'm trying to use the GATK pipeline for analyzing RNA-seq data and to detect variants. According to the GATK Best Practices, I need to allow reads for N cigars.
    So I tried
    java -jar GenomeAnalysisTK.jar -T SplitNCigarReads -R /human_g1k_v37.fasta -I Sample.dedupped.bam -o split.bam -U ALLOW_N_CIGAR_READS

    I started working with version 3.2.2. This works fine for a while, until it comes to a certain line in the BAM-file and spits out this error:
    Bad input: Cannot split this read (might be an empty section between Ns, for example 1N1D1N): 77M54369N2D79N24M

    I looked around on the internet and found that it helps sometimes to add -fixNDN to the command. But this results in the following error:
    Message: Code exception.

    Futhermore, it could be a bug, so I installed the latest version of GATK (3.3.0) but I get the exact same errors (both with and without -fixNDN).

    Any suggestions are most welcomed!
    Thanks,
    Lien

    Hi,

    I think I run into this issue the other day, too. Try the latest nightly build of GATK. That fixed it for me. This is a bug that has been fixed if I recall it right.

    Cheers

      Indeed, the latest build fixed it.

        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.
