SMRT Tools ipdSummary Error

[bgbrink]

Hello everyone,

I downloaded the latest version of the SMRT Link software (8.0.0.80529) and I am trying to run the ipdSummary tool of the SMRT Tools. We obtained PacBio Sequel II sequencing data of a sample and control without the modifications in question.

I aligned both sequencing sets to the reference genome using pbmm2. Then, I tried to run the following command:

ipdSummary --reference reference_Genome.fasta --outfile mod_test --control control.alignmentset.xml sample.alignmentset.xml

Unfortunately I receive this error and I have been unable to fix it myself:

Process KineticsWriter-2:

KeyError: 'tMean'

When I run the command without specifying a custom control with --control, I do not receive this error. However, we are looking for modifications that are not in the in silico database, hence we sequenced both a sample and a control. I would be grateful for any support.
