Hello.I am trying to identify alternative splicing using splAdder. I have annotation GTF file. I have three replicates of barley both for control and treated respectively i.e c1, c2,c3 and t1, t2, t3. I have generated sorted bam and .bai files and put them in a working directory. When I ran splAdder,

python2.7 spladder.py -a genome_annotationfile.gtf -b c1Aligned.sorted,c2Aligned.sorted,c3Aligned.sorted,t1Aligned.sorted,t2Aligned.sorted,t3Aligned.sorted -o splAdder_result

it shows following information:

/home/aasim/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/h5py/__init__.py:36: FutureWarning: Conversion of the second argument of issubdtype from `float` to `np.floating` is deprecated. In future, it will be treated as `np.float64 == np.dtype(float).type`.

Where is the problem?
