Scripture-v3.1 error: Java exception

10-01-2016, 08:29 AM

Hi all,

I'm trying to run the latest version of scripture. I used the following command,

java -jar ~/programs/Scripture-v3.1.jar -task reconstruct -alignment VMP-sorted.bam -genome rn6_dna.fa -out VMP-scripture

This in order to use Scripture on the whole genome. However, I get the following error part way through the run.

Intron intention Filter: 0.95
Premature Assembly Filter: 0.2
Splice junction Filter :
Number of spliced reads : 3.0
Percentage of total spliced reads: 0.05
Alpha for single exon assemblies : 0.01

I tried searching for this problem on this forum and others and although others have had something similar, it's not exactly the same error I'm getting. Does anyone have any ideas on what the problem is?

Thanks in advance!

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.
