Hi Guys,
While running GATK, I am getting ERROR MESSAGE: SAM/BAM/CRAM file bwa/aln-SRR13785703.bam is malformed. Please see https://software.broadinstitute.org/gatk/documentation/article?id=1317for more information. Error details: SAM file doesn't have any read groups defined in the header. The GATK no longer supports SAM files without read groups
So, there is a need to add read groups using picard tool (AddOrReplaceReadGroups) but for that I need parameters like RGID, RGLB, RGPL and RGPU. The sequencing platform I know, but how to get information regarding sequence library and barcode. I checked fastq header but there is no such information. The data has been fetched from SRA (SRR13785703). Please help me in this regard.
My fastq header is like: head SRR13785703_1.fastq
@SRR13785703.1 1 length=101 TNGCTGTGTCACACATTAAGCCAGGGGACTTTGCACCTCATTGCCTGGGGTCGGTTGGGGAGCTCCAGCTGCTCTGCCTGTTACTTTCCGGCCAGAGCCCA +SRR13785703.1 1 length=101 F#FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF @SRR13785703.2 2 length=101 TNGACCTGTGTGGGTCCGTCTTGGGGTTCCCTCGTTGAACATGCTGTCAAACCAGGACACTGGCTCCAGCTTGTGTTTCTGCTCTTGGCCATCGTCTGGGA +SRR13785703.2 2 length=101 F#FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF @SRR13785703.3 3 length=101 GNCCGCCGCTGGCCCTGTGCGAGCACCTCGTCCGGCCAGGCGTCCCGCAGCTGCTGCAGCCGCGCTCGCGCCGCCTCCAGCTCCGCGAGCTGCTCGCGCTC

the error is quite clear and is unrelated to your reads
GATK, SAM file doesn't have any read groups defined in the header
GATK: SAM file doesn't have any read groups defined in the header.

I have already seen this post and many others. I understand that I have to add read groups to my bam file. But my concern is I am not getting the information about sequence library and barcode in my fastq or SRA file (this is required in order to add readgroups). From where, this information I can get it?? I need help in regard to this.
you can put whatever you want. Ususally you put the sample name by default for anything:
RGID=SRR13785703 RGSM=SRR13785703 RGLB=SRR13785703 RGPU=SRR13785703 RGPL=ILLUMINA
