    XHMM and PLINK/Seq problem

    Hi!
    I'm trying to use XHMM for CNV detection but I have a few problems:

    1) I'm following this quide http://atgu.mgh.harvard.edu/xhmm/tutorial.shtml for the use and I installed PLINK/Seq tools but when I try to use:

    Code:
    "./sources/scripts/interval_list_to_pseq_reg EXOME.interval_list > ./EXOME.targets.reg"
    there is no file or script like interval_list_to_pseq_reg. So I saw in the plinkseq directory plinkseq/sources but there isn't any directory script, how can I fix it?

    2) I tried to bypass PLINK/Seq step so in this command for filters samples and targets and then mean-centers the targets:

    Code:
    ./xhmm --matrix -r ./DATA.RD.txt --centerData --centerType target \
        -o ./DATA.filtered_centered.RD.txt \
        --outputExcludedTargets ./DATA.filtered_centered.RD.txt.filtered_targets.txt \
        --outputExcludedSamples ./DATA.filtered_centered.RD.txt.filtered_samples.txt \
        --excludeTargets ./extreme_gc_targets.txt --excludeTargets ./low_complexity_targets.txt \
        --minTargetSize 10 --maxTargetSize 10000 \
        --minMeanTargetRD 10 --maxMeanTargetRD 500 \
        --minMeanSampleRD 25 --maxMeanSampleRD 200 \
        --maxSdSampleRD 150
    I delete the second --ecludeTargets low_complexity_targets.txt but in the next step I have problem with runs PCA on mean-centered data:
    Code:
    "./xhmm --PCA -r ./DATA.filtered_centered.RD.txt --PCAfiles ./DATA.RD_PCA"
    but this is the error:
    Code:
    ERROR: Unable to read header line from input stream
    So I tried to bypass this step too but then I have an error on discovers CNVs in normalized data:
    Code:
    ERROR: Unable to read header line from input stream
    Anyone can help me?

    Thanks in advance.



    UPDATE:

    I managed to run the program, and I understand where was the error. In the filtered step, with those parameters, the output file was empty, so I tied to modify the value, in particular minMeanSampleRD. But ther's one more problem. I'm using a known set of BAM files, in which i know who have a CNV, but even if I don't see an error anymore the final step (when I produce the xcnv file) produce an empty file.

    I use PGM Ion Torrent with amplicon's kit.

    Anyone can help me?

    Thanks in advance.

    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
