  • samtools mpileup -r not working

    Hi all,

    I would like to call SNPs from multiple bam files, one chromosome at a time.

    I used the following command to get a vcf file for chromosome 1:

    samtools mpileup -Q 20 -q 20 -C 50 -EDIuf canfam3.fasta -r 1 -b bamlist.txt | bcftools view -cg -> chr1.vcf

    However it does not work and I get this error message:
    [bam_index_load] fail to load BAM index.
    [mpileup] fail to load index for 1-th input.
    [afs] 0:0.000

    After extensive googling, I got a clue that it may work whilst leaving option r out, and it did start to work:

    command:
    samtools mpileup -Q 20 -q 20 -C 50 -EDIuf canfam3.fasta -b bamlist.txt | bcftools view -cg -> test.vcf

    output:
    [mpileup] 7 samples in 7 input files
    <mpileup> Set max per-file depth to 1142
    [bcfview] 100000 sites processed.

    Unfortunately there was no other solutions suggested from that.

    Does anyone know why it doesn't work with the "r" option ? I thought the bam files didn't have to be indexed for mpileup... but I still have my original index files (before doing rmdup) anyway.

    You need to run "samtools index yours.bam"

      Thanks for your reply lh3. I have indexed my bam files and its still not working.

        '-r <region>' should work. It works for me. :-) To help in troubleshooting, please do an 'ls -l' of your directory and cat your bamlist.txt file so that we can be sure that you have a good index? Also the first list or two of 'samtools view <one_of_your_files>' so that can be sure that the region names indeed look like '1' instead of something like 'chr1'.

          Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
          by seqadmin


          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...
