Problem calling somatic variations using Strelka-2 (configureStrelkaSomaticWorkflow.py)

Hi I am trying to call somatic variations using Strelka2, but I get this error:

configureStrelkaSomaticWorkflow.py Can't find expected fasta index file: index_bwa/hg38.fa.fai

I'm doing the exact command given from the website:

strelka-2.9.2.centos6_x86_64/bin/configureStrelkaSomaticWorkflow.py --normalBam BC.bam --tumorBam XL.bam --ref index_bwa/hg38.fa --runDir demo_somatic

I got this command from the recommended workflow of the website (Link).

Any help? Thanks!

strelka2 somatic variation fasta index

Fasta index file is missing. Index fasta file. Navigate to index_bwa folder, execute samtools faidx hg38.fa and then execute strelka functions.

Should move that to answer.

Thank you

I applied your suggestion but now the error changed to this one:

configureStrelkaSomaticWorkflow.py Can't find any expected BAM/CRAM index files for: BC.bam

I tried with sorted.bam as well, but got the same error.

Any help?

Just read the error message, it explicitly tells you what's wrong.

this error is regarding index file missing for BC.bam. Index both the bams. samtools index <input.bam>.
