    Stampy software error with PairSorter

    Hi all,
    I am trying to map reads (Paired End) from a sample to a reference assembly that is somewhat divergenct (~3%). So I used the bam file after bwa mapping and tried to run that through stampy again as follows:
    ${STAMPY} -t30 -g athCun1_ens -h athCun1_ens --bamkeepgoodreads --bwamark --substitutionrate=0.03 --output=JO1.adaptersmarked.aligned.merged.ensembl.stampy-div3.sam -M JO1.adaptersmarked.aligned.merged.ensembl.bam
    It created multiple bam and one sam file (I had listed sam as the output type, by extension). The output error file had an error in it (see below) but also the numbers of aligned reads (I think).
    stampy: (PairSorter) 'samtools sort -o -n -m200000000 - JO1.adaptersmarked.aligned.merged.ensembl.stampy-div3.samec7b5a5b-5bec-4c39-9ab4-ce6e1f320c23' returned messages on stderr:
    stampy: (PairSorter) (samtools ERROR) [bam_header_read] EOF marker is absent. The input is probably truncated.
    stampy: (PairSorter) 'samtools view -h -' returned messages on stderr:
    stampy: (PairSorter) (samtools ERROR) [bam_header_read] EOF marker is absent. The input is probably truncated.
    stampy: # Nucleotides (all/1/2): 52813084200 26406542100 26406542100
    stampy: # Variants: 3212191560 1458708466 1753483094
    stampy: # Fraction: 0.0608 0.0552 0.0664
    stampy: Done
    However, when I checked the output sam file with samtools flagstat, it showed almost the same number (and percentage) of reads getting mapped. However, the proportion of properly paired reads went down a bit.
    Would you know (a) what the error means and how to fix that? (b) Why I might be getting mapping where the proportion of paired reads decreases?
    Thank you 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
