  • MACS 1.4.0beta

    Hi,

    I would like to share with all the MACS (http://liulab.dfci.harvard.edu/MACS/) users a revised version of the program.

    Working with SAM files as input for this last MACS version, we noticed that in case the SAM file has thousands of lines representing unaligned reads at the beginning of it, the program crashes because it is not able to determine the length of the reads. I looked at the source code and modified the Parser.py in order to avoid this error. We tested it with some of our SAM files and it seems to work properly. I also modified the code in order to avoid this error with other input sources but I did not tested it yet. I attached the revised source code.

    You should send a patch upstream, directly to the authors.

    See the correponding authors in the Genome Biology paper (2008).

        Problem

        Hello and thanks for this version! I have the same problem with my SAM files so I tried to use this but I get the following error message:

        deepseq:~ schizas$ macs14 -t Data/MTmCmLs_5_1.sam
        Traceback (most recent call last):
        File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/macs14", line 336, in <module>
        main()
        File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/macs14", line 48, in main
        options = opt_validate(prepare_optparser())
        File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/MACS14/OptValidator.py", line 143, in opt_validate
        if options.keepduplicates != "auto" and options.keepduplicates != "all":
        AttributeError: Values instance has no attribute 'keepduplicates'


        Do you know how I can fix this?

        Thank you
        Michael Schizas

          Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
          by seqadmin


          Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
