base recalibration problem

Wanbo

Hi,

I am working on bovine exome sequencing datasets. I have 22 animals ( the read length of 11 samples is 90 bp, others are 100 bp) . I merged all of them into a big bam file, and did Indel realignment on it. When I run BaseRecalibrator, my job was aborted on chr12. And I check the region chr12(28982297, 29984297) of my reference file with Samtools, it seems not damaged. Any suggestion?

Hi there,

Try validating all your input files using the Picard validation tools, that will tell you if there is anything wrong with your files.

You can also run again using -XL argument to exclude the interval where the program choked the first time, and see if it still errors out. That may help identify whether it's a problem with the file or a problem of not enough computing resources.
