DepthOfCoverage Error: no suitable codec found

Hi,

I am trying to find the coverage per sample and per gene using GATK DepthOfCoverage. I have downloaded the refseq file as per gatk suggested. But it gave me this error:

A USER ERROR has occurred: Cannot read file://~/hg38.geneTrack.refSeq because no suitable codecs found

gatk DepthOfCoverage \
-R $ref \
-O $outdrive/{} \
-I $input/{}.recal.bam \

Thanks!

Thank you very much! it solved the problem. Could you suggest a way to filter the refseq file so that it only contains the genes/coordinates in the bed file? because I am getting many 0 coverage genes that are not targeted in the panel.

Thank you again!
