  • MarkDuplicates not working on CG BAM files?

    Hi everyone,

    I've created some BAM files from some Complete Genomics data using their conversion script so I can run it through a GATK/Picard pipeline and everything seems to be running sweet until I get to run the IndelRealigner. I seem to keep getting a duplicate record error from IndelRealigner, whether I use MarkDuplicates with REMOVE_DUPLICATE = true or false.

    java -Xmx12g -Xms12g -jar ~/apps/picard/MarkDuplicates.jar INPUT=recal_GS14972.bam OUTPUT=GS14972_dedup_test.bam METRICS_FILE=GS14972_dedup_test.metrics REMOVE_DUPLICATES=false CREATE_INDEX=true CREATE_MD5_FILE=true TMP_dir=~/recal_GS14972

    ##### ERROR ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ##### ERROR A USER ERROR has occurred (version 2.3-9-ge5ebf34):
    ##### ERROR The invalid arguments or inputs must be corrected before the GATK can proceed
    ##### ERROR Please do not post this error to the GATK forum

    ##### ERROR ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    There are clear duplicates in the input files, but it appears that MarkDuplicates is not finding them (the metrics file shows no found duplicates). Looking by eye I can only see differences between the reads at ZA and ZI columns, but I've been unable to identify their meaning.

    I'd really appreciate any thoughts or comments that would help me progress with this analysis.

    Thanks.

    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...

    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...
