Issue with bowtie2

[ckntav]

Hello,
I'm trying to run HiC-Pro through the singularity container with the test data.
It seems that there is an error with bowtie2:

Run HiC-Pro 2.11.4

Mon Dec 14 15:19:17 EST 2020
Bowtie2 alignment step1 ...
Logs: logs/dixon_2M/mapping_step1.log
Exit: Error in reads alignment - Exit
make: *** [/usr/local/bin/HiC-Pro_2.11.4/bin/../scripts//Makefile:88: bowtie_global] Error 1

Here is what it is written in SRR400264_00_R2_bowtie2.log:

##HiC-Pro mapping

(ERR): bowtie2-align exited with value 1

NB: I replace the absolute path of bowtie2 indexes with path_to

Do you have an idea of what happened?

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Chris,
I think it has nothing to do with HiC-Pro itself ... but more with bowtie2.
My feeling is that bowtie2 is not proprely installed.

Hello, thank you for your feedback. I finally installed HiC-Pro from source on the cluster.
It seems to run well but I'm concerned about one message in the log file.
That message is described in Issue #227, so I commented there.
