New guy here, hope these aren't stupid questions.

I have a whole bunch of fq.gz files I've been provided with. I need to use them along with their associated BAMs to run CNVnator. I've been reading a bunch of tutorials on using CNVnator and trying out some scripts and am wondering whether:

• Will I need to untar the fq.gz files for CNVnator to use them?
• Will I need to convert the fq to fa files?
• Will I need to split the two large fa files into individual scaffold fa files for CNVnator to work properly?

I've run CNVnator already, using the fq.gz files, and it has produced a histogram - but it doesn't look like the examples I see elsewhere. Here is a bit of it:

deletion    scaffold00002:34001-43000    9000    0    1.77081e-11    3.27327e-82    9.107e-09    5.30333e-62    1

It lacks the headings and is formatted somewhat differently to the examples I've looked at. Has it not worked correctly?

My code was:

cnvnator -root WN-8.root -tree /gpfs/projects/p-orsinil01/CNVandT/bwa_mapping/WN-8.bam > WN-8_extract.out
cnvnator -root WN-8.root -his 1000 -d /gpfs/nbu/pxo289/bin/CNVnator/CNVnator_v0.3.2/src > WN-8_histogram.out
cnvnator -root WN-8.root -stat 1000 > WN-8_stats.out
cnvnator -root WN-8.root -partition 1000  > WN-8_partition.out
cnvnator -root WN-8.root -call 1000 > WN-8_calls.out

Any help is appreciated.
