I have realigned, recalibrated BAM files on which I am trying to run final QC metrics. I have tried running HS metrics and AlignmentSumaryMetrics and I get the following error messages.
1. CalculateHSMetrics - "Sequence dictionaries are not the same size (0, 25)"
Does this refer to the difference between my reference file and BMA file? Do I need to create a BAM Sequence dictionary for my reference file (in fasta format)?

2. Alignment Summary Metrics - myfile.bam has no sequence dictionary
Again, does this mean that I need to make a separate sequence dictionary associated with myfile.bam? Presumably this is the source of the error above. Is it possible to generate a sequence dictionary from a bam file with Picard? It also says "If any reads in the file are aligned then alignment summary metrics collection will fail" (which I found confusing because I thought that the file was supposed to be aligned).

I am sorry if these are really simple questions - I am totally new to all of these programs. I have tried searching through previous help questions on samtools and here . Part of the problem is that I can't work out exactly what a "sequence dictionary" is (other than a header file - which I am sure is so obvious that it doesn't require explaining!)
If anyone can help I would be very appreciative!
Thanks.
