  • Problem using HTSeq count with SAM file without quality score

    Hi everyone,

    I have a problem using HTSeq count to analyse my SAM file. I think I know the source of the error and I'm wondering whether there is a work around.

    The SAM files I'm dealing with don't have any quality scores as they were made by aligning fasta files to the reference using segemehl. They look like

    As you can see, there is a * instead of a qual string. When I try to use HTSeq count by inputting

    python -m HTSeq.scripts.count -t CDS -m intersection-nonempty -i Name -a 0 14_trimmed_fasta_v2.sam CP000726.gff

    It returns

    7465 GFF lines processed.
    Error occured when reading first line of sam file.
    Error: ("'seq' and 'qualstr' do not have the same length.", 'line 4 of file 14_trimmed_fasta_v2.sam')
    [Exception type: ValueError, raised in _HTSeq.pyx:765]

    I have tried setting the -a parameter to 0 and * with no positive effect. I think that HTSeq is expecting a quality string which my SAM file doesn't have.

    Does anyone know a way around this problem?

    Thanks,

        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...
