    Galaxy-filter pileup error

    Hi,
    The aim of my work now is to find SNPs in my dataset from Illumina GAII ( paired end) but when tried to filter pileup got this:

    16: Filter pileup on data 14
    An error occurred running this job: Use of uninitialized value in subroutine entry at /galaxy/home/g2main/galaxy_main/tools/samtools/pileup_parser.pl line 40, <IN> line 1.
    Use of uninitialized value in numeric lt (<) at /galaxy/home/g2main/galaxy_main/tools/samtools/pileup_parser.pl line 41

    I'm new Galaxy user, working with this kind of data for the first time...
    I just had a first go and got an error... Could you please direct me on a right way of doing it as I must did something totally wrong
    What I was doing:
    -uploaded data in fastq format
    -FASTQ groomer (Illumina 1.3+)
    -FASTQ summary statistics
    -FASTQ splitter
    -Map with Bowtie for Illumina (paired end, typed my insert size)
    -Filter SAM (flag1-read is paired YES; flag2-read is mapped in a proper pair-YES; flag3-read is umpapped-NO)
    -SAM to BAM
    -Generate pileup from BAM dataset
    -Filter pileup

    (not sure if I should have trimmed the reads first...)

    I probably have been doing this all wrong from the beginning, so if anyone could tell me, what should I do to get the right thing would be great

    I'd suggest posting this question to the Galaxy-User list (http://lists.bx.psu.edu/listinfo/galaxy-user). You may get a good response there.

    Before you do that, this information may help.

    The 2 lines of code that are choking are:
    40 die "Coverage column" . ($cvrg_column+1) . " contains non-numeric values. Check your input parameters as well as format of input dataset." if ( not isdigit $fields[ $cvrg_column ] );
    41 next if $fields[ $cvrg_column ] < $cvrg_cutoff;
    The three variables are set at:
    13 my $cvrg_column = $ARGV[4]-1; # 1 based

    15 my $cvrg_cutoff = $ARGV[6]; # unsigned integer

    37 my @fields = split /\t/;
    The coverage cutoff is set from the Galaxy interface. Check what value you are giving it.

    If that's not the problem then there is a problem in how the coverage column number is being set (which I think is set by Galaxy), or some of the columns are missing.

    When you post to Galaxy-User, please provide a few lines of the file that is being given to the filter pileup step.

      Thank you for the reply!
      I'm trying to do the same for my other data as maybe there is something wrong with the data I uploaded to Galaxy. If it will be the same I'm going to do what you suggested. Thanks for help!

        This time is not good as well I don't have an error but the file is empty...
        Looks like it's because when I try to generate pileup I get 3 columns with '0' values...

        I'm not sure why Am I doing something wrong or there must be a problem with my fastq file?
        Please help

          Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
          by SEQadmin2


          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...

          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.
