  • No bam from kallisto or Salmon after piping into samtools

    Hi all,

    I am trying to generate the pseudo bam files from both Kallisto v45 and Salmon v13 and can't get either to pipe into Samtools and generate a non-emtpy file. I think I am more currently focused on Salmon since I am getting good mapping results with it, but I've tried with Kallisto also just to see if I can generate the file.

    In my script:

    salmon quant -i $SalmonIndex -l A -1 $fq1 -2 $fq2 -p 20 -o `pwd` --validateMappings --writeMappings | samtools view -bS - > SalmonBamTest.bam

    kallisto quant -i $KallistoIndex -o ./$out --threads=40 --bias --single-overhang $SPECIFICITY --pseudobam $fq1 $fq2 | samtools view -bS - > kallistoPseudobam.bam

    Kallisto will run but I get an empty bam file.
    Salmon stops after 'Index contained 137,271 targets' and goes to the command prompt, also an empty file I believe

    If I remove the pipe and add writeMappings=SalmonBamTest.sam, I generate a sam file that can then be converted with the samtools view command. I realize I can do this in my script and delete the sam, but it's killing me that I can't get the direct pipe into samtools working.
    Does anyone have any clue what I am doing wrong?

    Thank you!
    Jeremy

    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...
