Hi Peter, Thanks for your reply.
Grepped lines from a typical header are as follows: > @PG ID:GSNAP PN:gsnap VN:2013-11-27 CL:gsnap -d stick_ref > --maxsearch=10 -M 0 -m 5 -t 6 -n 1 -A sam --quiet-if-excessive > --terminal-threshold=10 -i 2 ./samples_081014/CHA13_N_PA_F.fq > Similarly, the grepped line of one of the entry errors is as follows: > 1_1101_10360_49339_1 16 groupI 11728 40 90M * 0 > 0 > TCAATTATATTTAATATGAATAGTTACACCGTTAAACCAGCGTTGCATTTTTCCTCTCAAGGAATCCCTAGAGCCGCTTGCGTGCCTGCA > > C>DCDDCDCAEDDDEDEEECDCCA>BA?DDDDCBA?CADFFHFFEHGIIGIGJJJIGFIHHCIJIIHGHFJJJIJIIJJIGGFFCCIHFH > MD:Z:90 NH:i:1 HI:i:1 NM:i:0 SM:i:40 XQ:i:40 X2:i:0 XO:Z:UU PG:Z:A I guess the error seems to have something to do with the “A” tag at the end of the entry? However I ran these commands on a group of bams including several which do not produce this error and they also have the “A” tag and an identical header. Here is an example which produces no errors: > @PG ID:GSNAP PN:gsnap VN:2013-11-27 CL:gsnap -d stick_ref > --maxsearch=10 -M 0 -m 5 -t 6 -n 1 -A sam --quiet-if-excessive > --terminal-threshold=10 -i 2 ./samples_081014/CHA117_N_PA_F.fq And a typical read: > 1_1101_19655_2193_1 0 groupXX 10637098 40 90M * > 0 0 > TGCAGGAGAAAGATAGTGGACTAACTATGCCCCACACGCTACACACTCACACATCCTACACCACATAGTTGCACTAATAATTTGCATGTT > > HHHIGG<BFHHG99BF2<?*1?B<99C4?4DBFHBHGIIIC8FFCA;=7@77?EDEDDCD;>AC;;@>(-;CCC>>:5@>A######### > MD:Z:90 NH:i:1 HI:i:1 NM:i:SM:i:40 XQ:i:40 X2:i:0 XO:Z:UU PG:Z:A Thanks for your help so far!
