    bcftools output type not recognized

    I am trying to find a single SNP on a bunch of dog genomes in a compressed vcf file (vcf.gz) and I have been using bcftools to do so. I posted before on what command I should use and got some help:

    bcftools view -f PASS --threads 8 -T canine.bed -o 722g.990.SNP.INDEL.chrAll.vcf.gz -O 722g.990.SNP.INDEL.chrAll.vcf.bgz

    I created an empty file for the output file but I get the error:

    The output type "722g.990.SNP.INDEL.chrAll.vcf.bgz" not recognised

    If anyone knows what's going on here and what I'm doing wrong, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you

    Changing the file extenstion .bgz to .gz should solve the problem.

      Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
      by SEQadmin2


      I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

      Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

      From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
      by SEQadmin2


      Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.

      The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
