Problem with human_g1k_v37

PandoraMid · 05-17-2016, 01:34 AM

Hi! I'm trying to use human_g1k_v37 reference genome and I've download it in .gz format but when I try to extract it I get an error.

Is there a way to extract or to download it in uncrompress format? Or is there a way to uncompress it?

Thank's

Hello, PandoraMid.

When I tried to unzip the human_g1k_v37.fasta.gz file the same as yours, I got the following error.

$ gzip -d human_g1k_v37.fasta.gz
gzip: human_g1k_v37.fasta.gz: invalid compressed data--format violated

In this case, I used the file.
ftp://ftp-trace.ncbi.nih.gov/1000gen...k_v37.fasta.gz

But I downloaded another file and tried it, and it was extracted without any problems.
ftp://ftp.1000genomes.ebi.ac.uk/vol1...k_v37.fasta.gz

I don't know exactly why,
Please try the file from ftp.1000genomes.ebi.ac.uk. This file is well extracted.
