  • Breakdancer -o (single chromosome) segmentation fault

    Has anyone been able to figure out how to get breakdancer_max to run with the -o flag? Everywhere I've looked people have posted this same issue and I haven't seen any response to get it working and the devs don't respond to the issue, it's very frustrating.

    I think I might have figured it out, if you add the prefix chr to the number it seems to run without a segmentation fault. This seems like poor coding and even worse documentation.

      I have not gotten the -o flag to work at all. At first, it could not read my bam file index (because I did not have one). Once I solved that I tried running it with -o 17 or -o chr17.

      Neither produced a result. No errors, just made empty files. For the moment I am stumped.

        I got -o to work in breakdancer-max1.2, apparently they fixed it there. However there are many unknown (UN) svs called and for some reason running each chr individually then running in -t mode is magnitudes of order faster than running the entire bam without -o or -t which is rather shocking.

          Interesting. Good to hear the issue is resolved.

          It appears I will not be able to get their latest version because of the methods they describe for installing it. Very frustrating. Maybe if I ask my computing admins very nicely they will do it for me...

            Right, if you have your own Ubuntu machine or a vm it's easy but if your admins are anything like mine good luck because their github package is messed up and so source compiling doesn't work without a lot of work.

              Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
              by seqadmin


              Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...

              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...
