bcl2fastq error

Hello,

I had install bcl2fastq in my Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS by

$conda install -c bih-cubi bcl2fastq2

and my code is

$bcl2fastq --runfolder /home/data/vip55/1work/guide-seq/220919_E00560_0331_AHJ5W3CCX2 --barcode-mismatches 1 --input-dir /home/data/vip55/1work/guide-seq/220919_E00560_0331_AHJ5W3CCX2/Data/Intensities/BaseCalls -o /home/data/vip55/1work/guide-seq --tiles s_8

but it has a error:

ERROR: bcl2fastq::common::Exception: 2022-Oct-14 09:22:04: No such file or directory (2): /opt/conda/conda-bld/bcl2fastq2_1548424849859/work/src/cxx/lib/layout/FileExistenceVerifier.cpp(212): Throw in function static void bcl2fastq::layout::FileExistenceVerifier::throwException(const string&, bcl2fastq::common::TileAggregationMode, bcl2fastq::common::LaneNumber, bcl2fastq::common::TileNumber)
Dynamic exception type: boost::exception_detail::clone_impl<bcl2fastq::common::IoError>
std::exception::what: Unable to find positions file for lane: 8 and tile: 1101

How to fix it

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Best,

You're missing data from your sequencing run.

Check the data transfer was completed before starting the tool (I've been impatient several times before).

Check the data is consistent. Re-copy the data. Check with the lab there weren't any run failures during the run.

Where did the data come from (sequencer, internet ....) ?

As colindaven suggests you should obtain a fresh copy of the data to see if you had a bad copy. If the fresh copy also shows the same error then you can add the option for bcl2fastq

--ignore-missing-positions                      assume [0,i] for missing positions, where i is incremented starting from 0

to get around this error. Some data may become not usable.
