Hi,

May I ask a naive question on what could be wrong when I try to run the chimeric alignment using presplit_map.py from diffHic package. It seems an error from samtools but I couldn't figure out what causes it. I updated my samtools version from 1.31 to 1.6 and I still having the same problem. I thank you in advance for any help.

Command

python /pathto/presplit_map.py \
    -G /pathto/bowtie2_idx/mm10 \
    -1 SRR_1.fastq \
    -2 SRR_2.fastq \
    --sig AAGCTAGCTT \
    -o SRR.bam

 

Error

This is probably because the samtools interface changed between software versions. The presplit_map.py script itself doesn't call samtools, but does it through the pysam module. My best guess is to make sure your pysam version in your Python installation is up to date, e.g., via pip.

May I ask you which version of Python I should use for it?

Dear Aaron,

 

I followed your recommendation and after trying several times running without success I uninstalled pysam, created a Python2 environment with conda, installed again the pysam 0.12.0.1 and then ran it again.

Unfortunately, I got the same error as previously. I really don't know what's the problem here.

 

Bellow is the conda info here, can you see something that might be wrong?

Current conda install:

Hm... I suspect this may be something to do with my sort call in pysam. I will test this myself, but you can try this:

  1. Copy presplit_map.py to your local directory (to avoid changing the installed copy).
  2. Change the sort call (on line 197) to pysam.sort("-o", outbam, "-n", bsorted).
  3. Change line 198 to os.rename(bsorted, outbam).

This should reflect the updates to the SAMtools API. (Make sure you don't mess with the indenting when you edit the code!)

I'll check this myself when I can, so don't worry if you can't get it to work.

Thank you for the advice, I'm very new in this kind of forum, sorry for any mistake.

So, I've done the suggested changes, but got another errors:

 python presplit_map.py     -G /home/nagailae/database/mm10/bowtie2_idx/mm10     -1 SRR_1.fastq     -2 SRR_2.fastq     --sig AAGCTAGCTT     -o SRR.bam

Ugh. Looks like the updated samtools needs an additional field on line 197:

pysam.sort("-o", bsorted, "-n", outbam)

Notice that I've flipped bsorted and outbam around, I made a mistake in my previous comment.

Edit: I realized that you shouldn't need the -T at all, the above corrected code should be sufficient.

Thank you very much Aaron, it worked perfectly now!!

P.S. there's an extra parenthesis in the end ;)

Ops,  another error...

 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "presplit_map.py", line 140, in <module>
    raise SystemError, "bowtie2 failed for presplit alignment"

 

My bowtie2 version is 2.3.3.1.

Sorry, this error was caused because an interruption of the job here. I ran using qsub and seems like it is working well so far. As soon as I get results from alignment I report here again.

Hi!

I tested and it ran perfectly with all data. It took a little longer than I was expecting but very nice! Alignment was higher than BWA mem.

presplit_map.py is working well after changes suggested by Aaron Lun :

 

  1. Copy presplit_map.py to your local directory (to avoid changing the installed copy).

  2. Change the sort call (on line 197) to pysam.sort("-o", bsorted, "-n", outbam).

  3. Change line 198 to os.rename(bsorted, outbam).​

 

Thank you very much Aaron!
