    chr20 length problem

    Hi,
    I have an Abi SOLiD WGS csfasta reads. After QC and filtering steps, I aligned the reads via SHRiMP2, specific for csfasta reads. I used hg19 as reference downloaded from ftp://ftp.broadinstitute.org/bundle/2.8/hg19/. SAM file is converted to BAM to sorted BAM to markduplicates (remove duplicates false) to reordersam to validatesam by PICARD. Than, I used GATK for realignertargetcreator but I got the followed error:
    ERROR MESSAGE: Input files known and reference have incompatible contigs: Found contigs with the same name but different lengths:
    ##### ERROR contig known = chr20 / 64444167
    ##### ERROR contig reference = chr20 / 63025520.

    I never ever changed or modified or touched the reference file (any sort of reference file whether it is ucsc.hg19.fasta or ucsc.hg19.dict or ucsc.hg19.fasta.fai). I checked files , such as, in BAM header or all reference files, the length of chr20 is reported as 63025520. I also checked --known files, 1000G_phase1.indels.hg19.sites.vcf and Mills_and_1000G_gold_standard.indels.hg19.sites.vcf.gz
    (which I downloaded from ftp://ftp.broadinstitute.org/bundle/2.8/hg19/) where the chr20 length is 63025520. I don’t know from where the length of chr20 64444167 comes here? I religned again and again and got the same error.
    Thanks in advance

      grep chr20 chrom.sizes.hg*

        Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
        by SEQadmin2



        CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

        Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

        Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
        by SEQadmin2


        Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

        The systematic characterization of the human proteome has
