  • samtools view error: CIGAR and sequence length are inconsistent (tophat/bowtie)

    Hi,
    When I try to use "samtools view" to creat .bam file from .sam, I get these error msg. The .sam file is created by mapping raw illumina reads with tophat.

    samtools view -bS -t index.fa.fai -o accepted_hits.bam accepted_hits.sam
    The tag [ID] required for [PG] not present.
    [sam_header_read2] 7409 sequences loaded.
    Parse error at line 8263: CIGAR and sequence length are inconsistent

    This #line 8263 is like this:

    head -n 8263 accepted_hits.sam |tail -n 1
    HWI-EAS210R:5:55:1018:1930#0 0 SL1.00sc00002 428427 0 36M92N36M473N536870911M * 0 0 CTCATCTCTCATCTCAGAGAGGTCCTCCAGGAGCAGGAATATAAGTTGGATCAAGTACGCAATCATCTTCA XXQZXR^Ta\[a\ZVZ^ZYXWWYPSUMSSQXZTO^ZZPV_\`_U\VYY[W^G\SJSTTRTUTXFTTQTYVS NM:i:0 XS:A:+ NS:i:0

    Anybody could explain me why Samtools gave such error msg?
    Thanks!

    I think the problem is caused by:

    36M92N36M473N536870911M

    But, I don't know how could it occur?

      I think the solution could be:
      reformat the raw .fastq file.

      Maybe, somewhere is not Tab, but space.

      then, 536870911M
      will not occur.

        Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
        by seqadmin


        The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist on Modified Bases...

        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...
