Hello,

I have just aligned some reads using Bowtie2 and am wanting to look at correlation between my replicates using the plotCorrelation tool. However, this requires a matrix file to first be generated with the multiBamSummary tool. I tried running the latter to generate the matrix but this error message came up:

Fatal error: Exit code 1 () Traceback (most recent call last): File "/galaxy-repl/main/jobdir/014/048/14048548/conda-env/bin/multiBamSummary", line 7, in <module> main() File "/galaxy-repl/main/jobdir/014/048/14048548/conda-env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/deeptools/multiBamSummary.py", line 224, in main num_reads_per_bin = c.run(allArgs=args) File "/galaxy-repl/main/jobdir/014/048/14048548/conda-env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/deeptools/countReadsPerBin.py", line 263, in run raise ValueError("numberOfSamples has to be bigger than {} ".format(min_num_of_samples)) ValueError: numberOfSamples has to be bigger than 99567

Could anyone help this ?

Cheers, Alfred

Which reference genome did you use?

More generally, try setting the "Bin Size in bp" to a smaller value. It needs to be larger than the average chromosome/contig length, which doesn't always happen by default if you have a lot of really small contigs.

hi Devon I am also getting error with multibamsummary. Reference genome is brassica juncea 1.5.

It looks like the bigWig file is corrupt or empty.

Hi Devon,

Many thanks for getting back to me. What sort of range of bin size would you suggest please and how can I estimate that? My reads are all 50-bp fragments, aligned to mouse mm10 genome.

For mm10 you shouldn't have to change anything and you shouldn't be getting that error message. Please submit a big report within Galaxy and, in the part of the report where you can type stuff in, put a link to this post and ask the site administrator to contact me. For reference, the 99567 number is the number of chromosomes/contigs in the BAM files, so either you're not using mm10 but rather some other assembly (e.g., a different strain from the Mouse Genomes Project) or something went wrong when comparing the chromosome names.

Agree that the problem is likely a genome mismatch issue from the given info. Compare each input - data based on the same exact reference genome must be used for all steps. https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Support#Reference_genomes

If you cannot find the issue but can replicate this at http://usegalaxy.org, this is how to send in the bug report: https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Support#Reporting_tool_errors

Leave all inputs/outputs undeleted and include a link to this biostars post.

Thanks, Jen, Galaxy team

Thanks so much Devon and Jen - I will recheck my data and see if it was using the correct reference genome.

Cheers, Alfred
