    Convert from baf to bam files

    Hi everyone,

    I'm trying to convert my baf files to bam, because i want to use dindel.

    So i use bfast to convert from baf to sam and samtools from sam to bam, but it failed at the bfast step...

    If someone knows a better tools or can help me.

    here my command line:
    Code:
    bfast bafconvert -O 4 -f /path_to/hg37all.fa files.baf
    The error:
    Code:
    ************************************************************
    Reading in reference genome from /path_to/hg37all.fa.nt.brg.
    In total read 26 contigs for a total of 3080452622 bases
    ************************************************************
    ************************************************************
    In function "readInReadGroup": Fatal Error[OpenFileError]. Message: Could not open file for reading.
    The file stream error was:: Bad address
     ***** Exiting due to errors *****
    ************************************************************
    I hav the right on all files...

    Thanks guys.

      the end product of the bfast run is a SAM file (check the manual, page 52). I think you are leaving the "postprocess" part of the program. I then just use samtools to then convert SAM file to a BAM file.

      samtools view -bhS bfast.sam bfast.bam

        Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

        Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing

        I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

        Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
