What does an error message mean?

Overview

This document lists error messages that you may encounter when using Oncotator. For each, you will find an explanation of what the error message means, and how to solve the problem (if possible).

Entrez Gene ID was zero, but Hugo Symbol was not Unknown

Problem: The current GENCODE datasource does not have a complete list of the Entrez Gene IDs.

Solution There is no solution yet. This is a known issue and will be solved in a future release of the default datasource corpus.

oncotator.DuplicateAnnotationException.DuplicateAnnotationException: 'Attempting to create an annotation multiple times

Problem: This occurs when Oncotator is being directed to create the same annotation on a mutation, but each with different values. Typically, this is caused by a maflite/tsv input file with redundant columns. For example, "Start_Position" and "start". Oncotator does use aliases, so the annotation could have different column header text, but be regarded as the same annotation.

Solution: You need to clean up the columns in your input file to avoid such conflicts.

    It seems you did not provide a datasource to the program. What was your command line?

    @Geraldine_VdAuwera Is there any work around for the "Entrez Gene ID was zero, but Hugo Symbol was not Unknown" issue?

    Hi everyone!

    I am trying to annotate my vcf file (prepared using GATK Best Practices workflow) using oncotator :
    AND here is my command:

    oncotator -v --log_name=oncotator.SNPs.log \
    --input_format=VCF --output_format=VCF \
    --db-dir=/seqdata/Oncotator_Datasource/oncotator_v1_ds_April052016 \
    /nextera_rapid_capture_exome/varcall_filtered/SNPs.vcf \
    /nextera_rapid_capture_exome/varcall_filtered/SNPs.oncotator.vcf hg19

    I am getting the following error message:

    Hi everyone!
    I have finally found solution to this error message ( that I posted before):
    here it is:

    I have followed the error message 'File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/oncotator/input/VcfInputMutationCreator.py", line 329, in createMutations'
    and checked this Python code in https://github.com/broadinstitute/oncotator/blob/develop/oncotator/input/VcfInputMutationCreator.py
    and found that this ERROR is cased by the presence of '*' symbol in the ALT field: i.e. by the presence of spanning deletions
    in my input VCF file

    basically - this is what error message says )))

    NOTE that use of SelectVariants with --selectTypeToExclude INDEL --selectTypeToExclude MIXED --selectTypeToExclude SYMBOLIC

    will not remove * - spanning deletions

    I have removed variants with spanning deletions (there were only few) using grep

    check first manually - what is going to be removed:

    zcat myfilename.vcf.gz | grep -E ',*|*,' | awk '{print $1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6}' | more

    remove *'s:

    zcat myfilename.vcf.gz | grep -E --invert-match ',*|*,' > no_spanning_dels.vcf
