Hello, I'm having trouble in creating bead summary files from bead level files on BASE 2.9.2 using the Illumina plugin package version 1.2.
I created the array designs, imported the features and the reporters. Then I created a new raw bioassay and added two beadlevel files as they were supplied to me. When activating the bead summary importer, I get the following error (pasted from the log): Failed: Can't find start of data in file: File[id=386; name=4449817059_A_1.txt] on line 101 in file 4449817059_A_1.txt net.sf.basedb.core.BaseException: Can't find start of data in file: File[id=386; name=4449817059_A_1.txt] on line 101 in file 4449817059_A_1.txt at net.sf.basedb.illumina.plugins.BeadSummaryImporter.importScandata(BeadSummaryImporter.java:738) at net.sf.basedb.illumina.plugins.BeadSummaryImporter.run(BeadSummaryImporter.java:284) at net.sf.basedb.core.PluginExecutionRequest.invoke(PluginExecutionRequest.java:106) at net.sf.basedb.core.InternalJobQueue$JobRunner.run(InternalJobQueue.java:504) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619) Caused by: net.sf.basedb.core.InvalidDataException: Can't find start of data in file: File[id=386; name=4449817059_A_1.txt] at net.sf.basedb.illumina.plugins.BeadSummaryImporter.importScandata(BeadSummaryImporter.java:677) ... 4 more I don't know why line 101, as it does not matter what it is on that line (I made a backup of the bead level file and removed the offending line just to make sure, since apparently setting "skip" as option in case of errors has no effect). I noticed that the header in my bead level data is different than what the README indicates, namely it is Code,Grn,GrnX,GrnY Also, the file is tab-separated, rather than comma-separated (but substituting tabs to commas does not fix the problem). Is there a way to work around this problem, is it a plugin limitation, or am I just doing things in the wrong way? Thanks in advance.
