  • samtools view error: CIGAR and sequence length are inconsistent (tophat/bowtie)

    Hi,
    When I try to use "samtools view" to creat .bam file from .sam, I get these error msg. The .sam file is created by mapping raw illumina reads with tophat.

    samtools view -bS -t index.fa.fai -o accepted_hits.bam accepted_hits.sam
    The tag [ID] required for [PG] not present.
    [sam_header_read2] 7409 sequences loaded.
    Parse error at line 8263: CIGAR and sequence length are inconsistent

    This #line 8263 is like this:

    head -n 8263 accepted_hits.sam |tail -n 1
    HWI-EAS210R:5:55:1018:1930#0 0 SL1.00sc00002 428427 0 36M92N36M473N536870911M * 0 0 CTCATCTCTCATCTCAGAGAGGTCCTCCAGGAGCAGGAATATAAGTTGGATCAAGTACGCAATCATCTTCA XXQZXR^Ta\[a\ZVZ^ZYXWWYPSUMSSQXZTO^ZZPV_\`_U\VYY[W^G\SJSTTRTUTXFTTQTYVS NM:i:0 XS:A:+ NS:i:0

    Anybody could explain me why Samtools gave such error msg?
    Thanks!

    I think the problem is caused by:

    36M92N36M473N536870911M

    But, I don't know how could it occur?

      I think the solution could be:
      reformat the raw .fastq file.

      Maybe, somewhere is not Tab, but space.

      then, 536870911M
      will not occur.

        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...
