    Picard CheckIlluminaDirectory: BaseCalls file format not found

    Hi,

    I recently used the MiSeq for a 2 x 76 paired-end sequencing run.

    I moved the 'L001' directory from BaseSpace to our cluster (with Picard 2.1.0; java 1.8.0_77)
    The 'L001' directory contains the sub-directories named 'C1.1', 'C2.1',..., 'C158.1', each containing the '.bcl' and '.stats' files.

    I then run the following command:
    Code:
    java -jar picard.jar CheckIlluminaDirectory \
    B=L001/ \
    RS=76T6B76T \
    L=1 \
    DATA_TYPES=BaseCalls
    It returns:
    Code:
    picard.illumina.CheckIlluminaDirectory BASECALLS_DIR=/home/user/L001 DATA_TYPES=[BaseCalls] READ_STRUCTURE=76T6B76T LANES=[1]    FAKE_FILES=false LINK_LOCS=false VERBOSITY=INFO QUIET=false VALIDATION_STRINGENCY=STRICT COMPRESSION_LEVEL=5 MAX_RECORDS_IN_RAM=500000 CREATE_INDEX=false CREATE_MD5_FILE=false GA4GH_CLIENT_SECRETS=client_secrets.json

    Is this program intended to be ran directly on BaseSpace in order to respect the directory tree with all the sequencing metrics files?

    Looking at picard command line overview the entire BaseCalls directory is required (https://broadinstitute.github.io/pic...-overview.html).

      You are right GenoMax !

      The program needs to look in the 'BaseCalls' directory.
      Plus, the tree architecture needs to be conserved since it will call some files from 'InterOp' dir as well.

        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
