  • htseq-count error message

    I keep getting the following error message when i use the htseq-count

    Error occured when processing SAM input (line 9786565):
    'pair_alignments' needs a sequence of paired-end alignments
    [Exception type: ValueError, raised in __init__.py:612]

    I sorted my sam files using samtools sort -n

    On top of this I also get many warnings saying if i am sure sam file is properly sorted or not?

    Do you know what is the error message about?

    Did you merge BAM files from both paired-end and single-end alignments?

      yes, they are all mapped properly. How can i check if there is any other mistakes in the data?

        Just browsing through the htseq-count code, it looks like this error will happen if the program things you have paired-end reads and you then hand it a single-end read. You might just feed to unmerged BAM files separately into htseq-count, possibly summing the resulting file in R. Whether you should sum the counts or treat them separately will depend a bit on how they were created. If the paired-end and single-end data were from different library preps of the same sample and you have equivalent data for other samples in your comparison, then I would recommend simply adding "library_type" (i.e., single or paired-end) as a factor in your statistical model (i.e., keep the counts separate). There's an example of that in the DESeq(2) vignette with the pasilla dataset.

          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...
