  • Segmentation fault with samtools rmdup

    I am running into a Seg fault when using samtools rmdup.

    I have paired-end alignments from bwa and filter them so that I retain only those pairs which are actually pairs, which have both fragments properly aligned, with no fragment unmapped, and with no next fragment unmapped:

    Code:
    ~/samtools-0.1.12a/samtools view -h -b -F 0xC -f 0x3 input.bam -o ~/foobar.bam
    Now I want to remove duplicates...

    Code:
    ~/samtools-0.1.12a/samtools rmdup ~/foobar.bam ~/rmdupped.bam
    ...and get this:

    Code:
    [bam_rmdup_core] processing reference chr2...
    [...] (long output omitted, here it goes through the chromosomes)
    [bam_rmdup_core] processing reference chr2...
    [bam_rmdup_core] 1 unmatched pairs
    [bam_rmdup_core] processing reference chrX...
    Segmentation fault
    My questions are:

    What can I do about the Segmentation fault?

    Why does it report "1 unmatched pairs", I thought that through the previous filtering (see above) there can not be any unmatched pairs anymore? How can I identify the unmatched pair, if there really is one (I tried samtools view -f 0x4, that doesn't find anything though)?

    I am using samtools version Version: 0.1.12a (r862).

    Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    perhaps sort first?

    Have you tried sorting first?

    The samtools man page says:

    samtools rmdup [-sS] <input.srt.bam> <out.bam>

    Which implies that the input should be sorted.

      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...
