Dindel empty variant result file

[land_NGS]

I'm running dindel's first stage analysis set to: getCIGARindels
The run looks good (number of reads read is reported some indels are found, Reports "Done"), but the variant result file as well as the library file are empty.

An idea how to fix this?

Many thanks!

The command, files, run log and output are listed below.





The command I'm running is:
dindel --analysis getCIGARindels --doDiploid --bamFile ERR024149_1_sorted.bam --outputFile out --ref chr20.fa

The directory I set up has 4 files:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 63684691 Apr 27 09:58 chr20.fa
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 23 Apr 27 09:58 chr20.fa.fai

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6432448 Apr 27 10:01 ERR024149_1_sorted.bam.bai

You shouldn't use the "--doDiploid" flag at this stage, that's for the realignment step. Not sure if that's the problem here though.

[land_NGS]

You are right. I've added this flag after running without it (according to manual directions) and getting an empty variant file. It does not help to take the --doDiploid flag off.

I am having the same problem of getting empty variant file from dindel. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
