  • Issues with CASAVA 1.8.1

    I am having some trouble with the Bcl to FastQ conversion in CASAVA 1.8.1. I imagine it might be a very stupid question (mostly because I couldn't find any trace of it being asked around the web), but how do I use the position files? When I give the command "make" (after making the "SampleSheet" and "make" files), it doesn't return the FastQ files, but instead returns the repeated error "failed to read position from pos file <path to _pos.txt file>". I know CASAVA can also use .locs and .clocs, but those are the _pos.txt appear on my computer already, so I thought of using them in the configureBclToFastq.pl, but for some reason it goes wrong there. Can anyone help me with this?

    The BCL to fastq converter is supposed to figure out which type of position file it looks for based on the RTA version.

    Do you have access to the entire flowcell data folder for this run?

      So far as I know, yes.
      Ah, I think I found the problem: I get an "Error:<Date> <Time>: No such file or directory: /<path>/BclReader.cpp". I'll figure it out by myself, thank you.

        was this issue ever resolved, if so how? - I have the same problem in in v1.8.2

          Can you be more specific about what problem you are encountering?

          Are you getting the same error as the original poster? Do you have access to the *entire* flowcell folder?

            yes, I have access to the entire flowcell folder, but what I'm doing is running the following command:

            /usr/local/bin/configureBclToFastq.pl --input-dir /output/120101_SNL151_0018_AC0RAPACXX/Data/Intensities/BaseCalls --output-dir /seqout/c6 --sample-sheet /output/120101_SNL151_0018_AC0RAPACXX/Data/Intensities/BaseCalls/SampleSheet.csv --use-bases-mask Y101,I8,I8,Y101 --tiles s_1_1101 --force

            which runs, but when I go to /seqout/c6 directory and type make -j 6

            I get:

              The format on this command option may be incorrect (unless you are using dual indexing, are you?).

              You should use Y101,I7n,Y101 (or Y101,I8,Y101 if you must). Illumina has generally recommended ignoring the last base in the index read (thus I7n).

              Also did you make sure that the relevant folders/files are readable by the "user" account that is running the demultiplexing command.

                yes, using dual indexing , so have to keep all 4 components in the line

                I'm using the root account, which has full read/write access on all folder/file, haven't setup any users yet, was planning to once I had successful output.

                Still have the same error as above when I try a smaller run:

                /usr/local/bin/configureBclToFastq.pl
                --input-dir /output/120101_SNL151_0018_AC0RAPACXX/Data/Intensities/BaseCalls
                --output-dir /seqout/DengTest
                --sample-sheet /output/120101_SNL151_0018_AC0RAPACXX/Data/Intensities/BaseCalls/Deng_3.csv
                --use-bases-mask Y101,I8,I8,Y101 --tiles s_3_111[0-3]

                any other ideas?

                  (a) Try to convert without '--tiles' , just for testing. Do you get the same errors?
                  (b) And you should have a look at the make output; the real error occurs earlier as
                  posted before. (c) Just retyping make after the conversion crash should "isolate" the
                  real error from the other stuff.

                    I ran without '--tiles', then repeated make, took the output and looked for the first error message, still the same outcome:

                      hey folks,

                      I think I may have solved it,

                      I was using sshfs mount to output directory on storage array,

                      I switched to nfs mount method and it seems to be running without any error during make process thus far *fingers crossed*

                          What is "the same problem"? What have you done? Which version of CASAVA are you using? Which OS? What is " /home/servidor/", local FS, NFS or? Your output seems not to be complete.

                            As Sven suggested some more information is required. But at a minimum you seem to be missing (or do not have permission to read) several ".clocs" files. Is this a full folder from an illumina run? Have you used this install of CASAVA before? If this is a first time install have you checked it with the included test data?

                              Hi

                              I'm having the same errors described by singhp5. I'm using for the first time CASAVA 1.8.2. I checked the test data. All my data were in a external media and I passed all files to a local directory, in my server. I used this commands:

                              configureBclToFastq.pl --input-dir /home/servidor/Documentos/Gabriela --output-dir /home/servidor/Documentos/Unaligned --use-bases-mask Y*

                              The first message was:

                              ...
                              [2013-11-21 21:40:22] [configureBclToFastq.pl] INFO: Read 1: length = 100: mask = Y*

                              [2013-11-21 21:40:22] [configureBclToFastq.pl] INFO: Running self tests: 'make self_test'
                              [2013-11-21 21:40:24] [configureBclToFastq.pl] INFO: Running self tests on /home/servidor/Documentos/Unaligned completed with no problems

                              After that, I did the make command in Unaligned folder

                              Thank you.

                                Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
