I've tried both the long-hand folder search and the quicker drag and drop. It shows it in the Plot View but says: "Failed to open for writing: C:/Users.........snp-indel.genome/vcf.gz (error code 1)" Prior to importing. I unzipped this compressed file using winzip and put it in a separate folder, so not sure why it's showing the .gz suffix on the end of the file name. It's just a .vcf file i asked GB to import. I checked the Win11 folder properties and full read/write access is allowed (saw an earlier BAM import post on the community that suggested this) Any help would be appreciated as the GB software looks very useful! If it helps, I'm using version 3.1.0 and I've downloaded the full reference genome for GRCh38 too Thanks, John John HThu, 23 May 2024 12:24:08 +0000http://answers.goldenhelix.com/question/526/VCF file importhttp://answers.goldenhelix.com/question/524/vcf-file-import/ How do I import VCF file ?

I want to see the alignment and location of some genes whose counts are differed during gene count from two different mapping methods. I want to visualize those genes and their proximities. For that, I picked a ref. genome and a relevant .bam file (by File > plot > browse, the location and the bam file) on the genome browse page but it shows "Data for this zoom level is unavailable until background computation is complete. Try zomming in". What does it mean? I looked in the manual but could not infer the solution of my problem. Please suggest me how to properly visulaize a mapped (.bam) file with a reference geneome. Thank you.

Now I have a genome in CRAM format and I can't seem to do anything with it. GH apparently won't load it. I can not understand the unix tools that may be available for converning files.

However, if I load a VCF with phased haplotypes and Sample1 has genotype 0|1 at Variant1 and 2|0 at Variant2 (a multiallelic variant), then it seems that Sample1 is displayed as 0|1, 0|2 in the browser, not 0|1, 2|0. Is there any option that, for phased VCFs, will force alleles in the same row for a sample to always be of the same haplotype?

In the conversion wizard preview, the genotypes field is missing. Unfortunately I am unable to post a screen shot because this is my first post to this community. In the Preview box, I see all fields except genotypes. To clarify, the input fields I see are: Ref/Alt, Identifier, Reference, Alternates, 0/1 Genotypes, Samples. The missing field is Genotypes. I don't know if this normal since the video was posted in 2015 and the version has since changed, or if this is due to a problem parsing the file. Thank you.

I am running the following command from within the GenomeBrowse 'Tools' folder where gautil is located: ./gautil coverage /Users/username/examplefolder/INPUT.bam --refFolder="/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Golden Helix/Common Data/Annotations/" And the output I receive is as follows: Unable to find reference sequence source for build: Ran into errors: Unable to match data in this source with an existing reference sequence. Reference sequence must have matching chromosome names and lengths. It seems to me that gautil is unable to identify which genome assembly my alignments are to in my .bam. When I drag and drop the same .bam file into GenomeBrowse it is able to do the computation fine, so I am not sure what the problem is. I have tried using different .bam files and also I have tried specifying the .tsf reference sequence file path directly instead of specifying the path to the folder containing it, but these didn't work. A colleague of mine seems to be doing the same thing as I am doing on Windows but having it work, so I am wondering whether this is a Mac-specific issue, or whether I am making some mistake in replicating his method.Haskan KayaWed, 27 Feb 2019 18:14:04 +0000http://answers.goldenhelix.com/question/460/S.cerevisiae genomehttp://answers.goldenhelix.com/question/459/scerevisiae-genome/Hi, I cannot show *Saccharomyces cerevisiae* genome on the GenomeBrowse.

A different IGV-like tool enable the detection of break-points by showing miss-aligned read tails spanning the break-point. On the other hand, GB does not enable this break-point detection as the reads seem to be clipped off at the break-point and onward (where the sequence is miss-aligned). I've tried playing with the filters but it doesn't seem to help. The other break-point same story. Is there a way to enable GB visualise the miss-aligned read tails for break-point detection? *I wanted to upload and share the snippet but need 10 points to upload pictures (?)
