Error message when uploading a file into UCSC genome browser

[petrosul]

Hi. I used QuEST to find peaks in my ChIP-seq data. It looks good, found 4000 peaks with minimum enrichment of 15. But when I try to upload a calls.filtered.bed file into genome browser, I see this error message:
"File 'ChIP_calls.filtered.bed' - Error line 3536 of custom track: chromStart after chromEnd (-1 > 3)". The other calls file from a different sample uploads into the browser just fine. I tried to rerun QuEST, but still get the same message uploading this file.

did you try looking at line 3536 of the bed file?

The UCSC genome browser doesn't like reads that map off the ends of chromosomes or negative numbers. You can run this little script I wrote on your file or since it is so small just open it up with a text editor and fix the offending line.
