    samtools view error: CIGAR and sequence length are inconsistent (tophat/bowtie)

    Hi,
    When I try to use "samtools view" to creat .bam file from .sam, I get these error msg. The .sam file is created by mapping raw illumina reads with tophat.

    samtools view -bS -t index.fa.fai -o accepted_hits.bam accepted_hits.sam
    The tag [ID] required for [PG] not present.
    [sam_header_read2] 7409 sequences loaded.
    Parse error at line 8263: CIGAR and sequence length are inconsistent

    This #line 8263 is like this:

    head -n 8263 accepted_hits.sam |tail -n 1
    HWI-EAS210R:5:55:1018:1930#0 0 SL1.00sc00002 428427 0 36M92N36M473N536870911M * 0 0 CTCATCTCTCATCTCAGAGAGGTCCTCCAGGAGCAGGAATATAAGTTGGATCAAGTACGCAATCATCTTCA XXQZXR^Ta\[a\ZVZ^ZYXWWYPSUMSSQXZTO^ZZPV_\`_U\VYY[W^G\SJSTTRTUTXFTTQTYVS NM:i:0 XS:A:+ NS:i:0

    Anybody could explain me why Samtools gave such error msg?
    Thanks!

    I think the problem is caused by:

    36M92N36M473N536870911M

    But, I don't know how could it occur?

      I think the solution could be:
      reformat the raw .fastq file.

      Maybe, somewhere is not Tab, but space.

      then, 536870911M
      will not occur.

        Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
        by SEQadmin2



        Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

        Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

        New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
        by SEQadmin2


        Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

        We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
