Microsatellite Instability: msiSENSOR

Hi, I'm new to Microsatellite instability and trying to work on msiSENSOR tool. I tried uploading a bam file in msisensor using the command:

msisensor -d microsatellites.list -t tumor.bam -o output.tumor.prefix

And it says: failed to open homopolymers and microsatellites file I checked the path and it is correct. Could any one tell me what has gone wrong and how I must troubleshoot?

TIA

next-gen sequencing

Command:

msisensor -d microsatellites.list -t tumor.bam -e bed.file -o output.tumor.prefix

The error is rectified.

Hi, I was calculating MSI for tumor only sample using the below command:

msisensor msi -d microsatellites.list -t tumor.bam -e bed.file -o output.tumor.prefix

It shows:

[bam_index_load] Fail to load BAM index I checked the location of files and everything is in the same directory. Could anyone tell me where I have gone wrong and what must be done? TIA

And it also says,

Assertion 'idx' failed Aborted core dumped.

Hi all, I'm calculating MSI for tumor only sample using the below command: msisensor -d microsatellites.list -t tumor.bam -e bed.file -o output.tumor.prefix

I have tried the command for 3 different files and getting 0 for Number of MSI sites. Is there something that I've done wrongly? TIA

When running msisensor msi command, the following error pops up. How should I take it further.

msisensor: bamreader.cpp:184: bool ReadInBamReads(const char*, conststring&, unsigned int, unsigned int, std::vector<split_read>&, std::string): Assertion `idx' failed. Aborted (core dumped)
