    bwa mem segfault; bwa bwasw breaks MarkDuplicates

    Hi,
    I have run into various problems with various versions of bwa
    1. bwa mem gives a segmentation fault right away. Not sure how to debug that, no matter what memory (we have 48G) and thread settings. Has anyone else run into this problem?
    The call to bwa is
    bwa-0.7.5a/bwa mem -M -R "@RG\tID:$ID\tLIB:SeqCapEZ.v3\tID:$ID\tPL:ILLUMINA" -t 24 ucsc.hg19.fasta $READS1 $READS2 > $ALN_OUT.sam

    2. bwasw produces a file which does no work with MarkDuplicates.
    The call to bwa is
    /old_home/enabieva/bwa-0.7.5a/bwa mem -M -R "@RG\tID:$ID\tLIB:SeqCapEZ.v3\tID:$ID\tPL:ILLUMINA" -t 24 ucsc.hg19.fasta $READS1 $READS2 > $ALN_OUT.sam

    The MarkDuplicates error is:
    Exception in thread "main" net.sf.picard.PicardException: Value was put into PairInfoMap more than once. 1: null:HWI-ST992:135:C0YGDACXX:2:1108:12651:98485

    Grepping for that read brings up the following:
    HWI-ST992:135:C0YGDACXX:2:1108:12651:98485 113 chr1 564775

    So it seems that the problem is that the first read is mapped twice, but this is not marked in any way.

    I found a discussion of this problem, but the suggested solution seems roundabout.
    Does anyone else encounter this?

    Thanks,
    Elena

    Yes, I met exactly the same error with you. Although I used the -M option, it seems also not compatible well with picard. I'm looking forward to an effective solutions.

      As far as I know the picard people are working with the bwa people to get the two programs to be more compatible. BWA MEM 0.7.4 should still work. The -M option is going to be gone and instead they are going to use a new flag which will have to be picked up by samtools and picard - but like I said they are all working together on this. I can't explain the seg-fault but I do know that the latest version of MEM has done away with what the -M option used to do. If you back up to a previous version of MEM it should still work. I'm using '0.7.4-r389-beta' and it mostly works. The bwa aln/sampe pipeline is broken in that it fails to properly annotate the 'XA' field of the alignments which triggers a bug in samtools if you attempt to run those alignments through it. However, that version's 'MEM' works perfectly for me (on Mac and Linux).

        Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
        by SEQadmin2



        Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

        Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
        by SEQadmin2



        Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

        There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

        Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.
