FASTA error: invalid refId specified

[cegamorim]

Hi Gabriel,

I'm trying to run schmutzi.pl and I am getting the following error:

running cmd endoCaller  -seq b07_npred_1_endo.fa   -log b07_npred_1_endo.log  -name MT  -qual 0  -logindel 50  -deamread  -deam5p b07_npred_1_endo.5p.prof  -deam3p b07_npred_1_endo.3p.prof  -cont 0.205  -deam5pc b07_npred_1_cont.5p.prof  -deam3pc b07_npred_1_cont.3p.prof  -single   -seqc b07_npred_1_cont.fa   -logc b07_npred_1_cont.log  -namec MTc  -l 16569  ./refGenomes/MT.fa ../b07.mtDNA.sorted.calMD.bam

FASTA error: invalid refId specified: 24
bamtools convert ERROR: pileup conversion - could not read reference base from FASTA file at chr 24 position 0
This can be normally solved by calling samtools' calmd on your bam file

I have already used samtools calmd. It looks like bamtools is referring to the mtDNA as "24" but in my BAM file it is "MT" and in the fasta file it is ">MT"; also the endoCaller command specifies " -name MT."

Do you know where is this refId being specified as 24? Could you please help me to fix this issue?

Thank you,

Eduardo

Hello! Just to be sure, did you realign everything to the MT or did you just isolate the mt reads from a bigger BAM file aligned against the genome?

Thanks for your prompt reply!
I subset the mt reads from a bigger BAm file aligned against the whole genome hg19.

ah! that is the issue, there are 2 ways forward: 1) manually hack the header to eliminate all the other references and reconvert to bam. I do not recommend this. 2) realign everything (from your original bam file) to the MT reference. As the mt is relatively small, this is very fast. This also takes care of numts which cause dips in coverage.
