bamtofastq outputs empty reads at beginning of fastqs for specific bam file

Open mebbert opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Hello, Related to #866, we have a specific sample where bamtofastq outputs empty reads at the beginning of fq1 and fq2 before printing out the rest of the reads. I inspected the .bam file and it appears normal and also passes samtools quickcheck. I also verified the issue remains in current master (v2.30.0-56-gbb64808f).

Could you take a look?

Here are the first two reads of each file:

Command

Here is our command: bedtools2/bin/bedtools bamtofastq -i minimal_example.bam -fq my_fq1.fq -fq2 my_fq2.fq 2> /dev/null

Minimal example file

I don't feel comfortable posting this specific sample on GitHub since it cannot be deleted, but I can email you a secure link to download it.
