    Segmentation fault with samtools rmdup

    I am running into a Seg fault when using samtools rmdup.

    I have paired-end alignments from bwa and filter them so that I retain only those pairs which are actually pairs, which have both fragments properly aligned, with no fragment unmapped, and with no next fragment unmapped:

    Code:
    ~/samtools-0.1.12a/samtools view -h -b -F 0xC -f 0x3 input.bam -o ~/foobar.bam
    Now I want to remove duplicates...

    Code:
    ~/samtools-0.1.12a/samtools rmdup ~/foobar.bam ~/rmdupped.bam
    ...and get this:

    Code:
    [bam_rmdup_core] processing reference chr2...
    [...] (long output omitted, here it goes through the chromosomes)
    [bam_rmdup_core] processing reference chr2...
    [bam_rmdup_core] 1 unmatched pairs
    [bam_rmdup_core] processing reference chrX...
    Segmentation fault
    My questions are:

    What can I do about the Segmentation fault?

    Why does it report "1 unmatched pairs", I thought that through the previous filtering (see above) there can not be any unmatched pairs anymore? How can I identify the unmatched pair, if there really is one (I tried samtools view -f 0x4, that doesn't find anything though)?

    I am using samtools version Version: 0.1.12a (r862).

    Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    perhaps sort first?

    Have you tried sorting first?

    The samtools man page says:

    samtools rmdup [-sS] <input.srt.bam> <out.bam>

    Which implies that the input should be sorted.

      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
