Hi,

I am trying to run QoRTs on my STAR aligned data however I have been getting errors I dont understand. I have attempted to re-sort my files with samtools and have increased the memort to no avail.

I have included my full pipeline below:

#STAR alignment

#Indexing

STAR --runThreadN 6 \
--runMode genomeGenerate \
--genomeDir STARindex \
--genomeFastaFiles /mnt/z/NathanHaffordTear/ReferenceGenomes/Homo_sapiens.GRCh38.dna.primary_assembly.fa \
--sjdbGTFfile /mnt/z/NathanHaffordTear/ReferenceGenomes/Homo_sapiens.GRCh38.93.chr_patch_hapl_scaff.gtf \
--sjdbOverhang 149

#cd to location of raw data
#aligning

for f in `ls *.fq.gz | sed 's/_[12].fq.gz//g' | \
sort -u`; do echo $f && \
STAR --genomeDir STARindex \
--runThreadN 6 \
--readFilesIn <(gunzip -c ${f}_1.fq.gz ${f}_2.fq.gz) \
--outFileNamePrefix /mnt/z/NathanHaffordTear/STARalignments/STARalignment.hg38v93/${f}.sorted \
--outSAMtype BAM SortedByCoordinate \
--outSAMunmapped Within \
--outSAMattributes Standard; done

#sorting again to make sure

for f in `ls *.bam | sed 's/.bam//g' | \
sort -u`; do echo $f && \ 
samtools sort -@ 4 ${f}.bam -o ${f}.samtoolsort.bam;
done

#JunctionSeq
#cd to analysis output location

java -Xmx16G -jar /usr/local/QoRTs.jar QC --stranded --runFunctions writeKnownSplices,writeNovelSplices,writeSpliceExon /mnt/z/NathanHaffordTear/STARalignments/STARalignment.hg38v93/C18.sortedAligned.sortedByCoord.out.samtoolsort.bam /mnt/z/NathanHaffordTear/ReferenceGenomes/Homo_sapiens.GRCh38.93.chr_patch_hapl_scaff.gtf RawCounts/

#I have done this with both ensembl and gencode alignments with and without samtools sorting with the same errors

Hi,

The error from QoRTs is:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: Inappropriate call if not paired read

And further up it says:

   WARNING WARNING WARNING! Running in paired-end mode, but reads appear to be single-end! Errors may follow.
           Strongly recommend using the '--singleEnded' option

QoRTs assumes you've using paired-end reads unless you specify otherwise, but your BAM file appears not to be, so it thinks there might a problem.

In your STAR alignment step, you've got:

--readFilesIn <(gunzip -c ${f}_1.fq.gz ${f}_2.fq.gz) \

From STAR's point of view, this is just one file (although in reality it's two files concatenated together). You need to specify two files by changing this to:

--readFilesIn <(gunzip -c ${f}_1.fq.gz) <(gunzip -c ${f}_2.fq.gz) \

Or:

--readFilesIn ${f}_1.fq.gz ${f}_2.fq.gz --readFilesCommand "gunzip -c" \

Or:

--readFilesIn ${f}_1.fq.gz ${f}_2.fq.gz --readFilesCommand zcat \

Hope that helps.
