  • Samtools faidx errors

    Hi,

    I am new to samtools and bioinformatics in general. I have a quick question about generating a fasta index file from a .fa file. I see a segmentation fault while running samtools faidx on hg19:

    $samtools faidx hg19.fa
    [fai_build_core] different line length in sequence 'chr1'.
    Segmentation fault

    This is probably a dumb question, but what could be causing this?

    Thanks!

    You have differing line lengths after chromosome one. Check that each line in chr1 has the same length (except for the last, which should be equal to or shorter).

      Thanks - I didn't know that every line had to be the same length.

          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...
