Problems Running Bmr Calc-Covg On Music By Washu

Dear all,

I am trying to run bmr calc-covg. But when I use the following command, I receive an error. 

genome music bmr calc-covg --bam-list=/music/bam_list --output-dir=/music/ --reference-sequence=/human_g1k_v37.fasta --roi-file=/music/roi.tsv 

Usage: calcRoiCovg <bam1> <bam2> <roi_file> <ref_seq_fasta> <output_file> [min_depth_bam1 min_depth_bam2 min_mapq]
Defaults: min_depth_bam1 = 6, min_depth_bam2 = 8, min_mapq = 20
NOTE: ROI file *must* be sorted by chromosome/contig names

Failed to execute: calcRoiCovg /music/normal.bam /music/tumor.bam /music/all_coding_exons.tsv /human_g1k_v37.fasta /music/roi_covgs/TCGA-88824362.covg 6 8 20
Failed to execute: 'gmt music bmr calc-covg-helper --normal-tumor-bam-pair "TCGA-88824362 /music/normal.bam    /music/tumor.bam" --roi-file "/music/all_coding_exons.tsv" --reference-sequence "/human_g1k_v37.fasta" --output-file "/music/roi_covgs/TCGA-88824362.covg"'

I don't really know what's causing the error, so I'm not sure where to start looking for problems. Do any of you know what could be happening? I already ensured that all files (bam-files, MAF-file, reference, regions of interest) have the same chromosome naming conventions.

Thanks a lot

Hello,

I'm trying to run bmr calc-covg and got an warning message:

[fai_fetch] Warning - Reference 1 not found in FASTA file, returning empty sequence
Failed to execute: calcRoiCovg ..,

I checked my ROI file to make sure the format is fine. ROI file looks like this:

1    10003486    10045556    NMNAT1
1    100111431    100160097    PALMD
1    100174259    100231349    FRRS1
1    10027439    10027516    MIR5697
...

I also changed the fasta file so that the sequence header match the chr name in ROI

1 NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN ... ```

What could be the reason for the error?

Thanks!

I can explain the error, but I'm not so sure why it's happening. You can add comments to this reply, and we'll help you troubleshoot. Here's what the error is about...

For each pair of bam files in your bam_list, the calc-covg tool runs another program called calcRoiCovg. But it looks like calcRoiCovg printed out its usage instructions, indicating that the arguments passed to it by calc-covg are invalid or incorrect. Notice that the error messages printed out the calcRoiCovg command that was tried and failed:

calcRoiCovg /music/normal.bam /music/tumor.bam /music/all_coding_exons.tsv /human_g1k_v37.fasta /music/roi_covgs/TCGA-88824362.covg 6 8 20

This command looks OK to me, but try running it directly on terminal and let us know what happens. And here are a few other things worth checking:

  1. Make sure all those file paths are valid. I'm surprised that they are all in the root directory.
  2. If you created the roi_file in Windows, then it might be using the non-UNIX newline format \r\n instead of \n. This can cause unhandled weirdness.

There are many ways to fix newlines or EOF issues. Just Google for "convert newlines windows to unix" to find a ton of short scripts and tools. I recommend using the dos2unix utility available on Ubuntu/Debian, which handles most issues. Install it and run it as follows to fix your ROI file:

sudo apt-get install dos2unix
dos2unix all_coding_exons.tsv

Thanks a lot for the reply. I found out a mistake in the path in the bam list but the same error shows up. After running the command independently this is what I get

About the EOF marker can it be added to the file separately by script? And I also tried the by removing the chr prefix from chromosomes of ROI file but it Skipped all the ROIs of chr 1 and rest is not taken in both cases and no output is getting generated. I have used joinx comand to sort my ROI file.

My ROI file looks like this:

chr1    14643    14762    LOC376475
chr1    14763    14882    LOC376475

I know this is very long but I am very new to this. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

I have updated my original answer with info on how to fix newlines using a tool named dos2unix. It will hopefully also fix your "absent EOF marker" issue. If not, you can just open it in a Unix-based text editor and make sure that there is a newline after the last line in the file.

Thanks a lot. Now I am able ti run calc-covg and calc-bmr but am facing problems running smg. I get the following error.

genome music smg         --gene-mr-file /home/dell/Downloads/output/gene_mrs         --output-file /home/dell/Downloads/output/smgs

I am not able to understand what is causing the error.

my roi file had problems. I am able to run smg now. Thank You!

I got a similar error when certain ROI lines did not have an annotation column.

For example, this test ROI works just fine:

chr1       65831   65973      GENE

But this ROI causes an error:

chr1       65831   65973

genome music bmr calc-covg --bam-list test_bam_input.tsv --output-dir test_genome_music_out/ --reference-sequence /opt/indexes/DNA/h_sapiens/hg19.fa --roi-file sorted_exome_v5.annot
Badly formatted ROI: chr1       65831   65973

ROI file should be a tab-delimited list of [chrom, start, stop, annotation]
where start and stop are both 1-based chromosomal loci
For example:
20      44429404        44429608        ELMO2
MT      5903    7445    MT-CO1
