Hi Michael,

This particular .wig file has a data format problem that is the root cause of the conversion error. Specifically, there is an extra track line in the file. This can be found using unix tools with a grep or in Galaxy with the tool "Filter and Sort -> Select" by matching the pattern "track".

Ideally this would be corrected and resubmitted by the data author before use, since how/why this was inserted and what impact it has would need to be examined.

Since you noticed problems with other GEO files (conversion problems), verifying the .wig format and making any necessary corrections would also be advised.

Hopefully this helps!

Best,

Jen

Hi,

I have hit a brick wall when trying to convert wig files from the GEO to
bigwig files. Each time I try (and I have tried many times since
October), I get the same error. For example, here is a downloaded wig
file, that I assigned to the mouse mm8 genome, and the error I got when
I tried to convert it to a bigwig file. The dataset came from Bing Ren's
lab, and its GEO record is here:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSM560344

The wig file was uploaded to Galaxy Dec. 8, 2011, and I assigned mm8
rather than mm9 based on the GEO record:

The wig-to-bigWig conversion on data 49 (using the wig to bigwig
conversion tool in the convert formats toolbox) was run on March 21,
2012 and gave the following error:

Wig-to-bigWig on data 49

I gather that the chromosome ends are not being snipped off, even though
I toggle this option on the galaxy conversion tool. And I know it's
doing something, because if I toggle that option off, I get an error
that includes "broken pipe" and simply aborts. I apologize for knowing
so little about the bioinformatics involved here. And I'm sure I've
overlooked something that is likely obvious to others and/or failed to
provide some critical bit of info in this email. But any help would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike
