Hi, How can we help?

Developed in the Data Sciences Platform at the Broad Institute, the toolkit offers a wide variety of tools with a primary focus on variant discovery and genotyping. Its powerful processing engine and high-performance computing features make it capable of taking on projects of any size. Learn more

Why do I get 'java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Dictionary cannot have size zero' when using GetPileupSummaries?

    Hi Ruiqiao Bai,

    Could you check if your VCF is not malformed or empty? You can use the GATK tool ValidateVariants and you can also re-download the file to make sure there wasn't an issue when downloading.

    Best,

    Genevieve

    Dear Genevieve,

    Thanks for your reply! Both VCF files I used are not of size 0, and I have used ValidateVariants to check the two VCF files I used.

    For unfiltered_LP6005115-DNA_B07.vcf, the command I used is: 

    gatk ValidateVariants -R /gatk/my_data/wgs_processing_facilitating_data/hg19.fa -V /gatk/my_data/wgs_BAM/step1_1/unfiltered_LP6005115-DNA_B07.vcf

    The result is:

    Using GATK jar /gatk/gatk-package-4.2.0.0-local.jar

    I think those results mean there is no problem with the VCF files? Besides, the unfiltered_LP6005115-DNA_B07.vcf is generated from running Mutect2, and lifted_small_exac_common_3.hg19.vcf.gz is generated by running LiftoverVcf. I am not sure if those information might help.

    I think another piece of information I would like to add is that before running Mutect2, I have used AddOrReplaceReadGroups to solve the error 'MISSING_READ_GROUP' in the input to Mutect2. Since I don't have the original information on some required fields of the tool AddOrReplaceReadGroups (see http://broadinstitute.github.io/picard/command-line-overview.html#AddOrReplaceReadGroups), including 'Read Group library', 'Read Group platform unit' and 'Read Group sample name', I have taken 'unknown', 'unknown' and 'LP6005115-DNA_B07' as corresponding inputs, respectively. I am not sure if this might influence the performance of the tool GetPileupSummaries or not? Thanks for your help!

    My apologies! I didn't specify which file flagged the error message. Could you perform these checks with the gatk/my_data/wgs_processing_facilitating_data/hg38_to_hg19/lifted_small_exac_common_3.hg19.vcf.gz file? 

    Thank you!

    Thanks Ruiqiao Bai! Could you run UpdateVCFSequenceDictionary to make sure that the dictionary of the lifted_small_exac_common_3.hg19.vcf.gz file is up to date?

    Sure. Thanks for your help! I have tested  UpdateVCFSequenceDictionary by two commands to get two updated files, but it seems that neither of them could work.

    Specifically, the first command is :

    gatk UpdateVCFSequenceDictionary \
    -V /gatk/my_data/wgs_processing_facilitating_data/hg38_to_hg19/lifted_small_exac_common_3.hg19.vcf.gz \
    -R /gatk/my_data/wgs_processing_facilitating_data/hg19.fa \
    --output /gatk/my_data/wgs_processing_facilitating_data/hg38_to_hg19/updated_small_exac_common_3.hg19.vcf.gz \
    --replace true

     

    And the result is:

    Then I have tried the GetPileupSummaries using the file generated (i.e.updated_small_exac_common_3.hg19.vcf.gz).

    gatk GetPileupSummaries -I /gatk/my_data/wgs_BAM/step1_1/unfiltered_LP6005115-DNA_B07.vcf -L /gatk/my_data/wgs_processing_facilitating_data/hg38_to_hg19/updated_small_exac_common_3.hg19.vcf.gz -V /gatk/my_data/wgs_processing_facilitating_data/hg38_to_hg19/updated_small_exac_common_3.hg19.vcf.gz -O /gatk/my_data/wgs_BAM/step1_3/getpileupsummaries_LP6005115-DNA_B07.table
     

    However, It seems that I still get the same error:

    Besides, I have used another command for UpdateVCFSequenceDictionary:


    gatk UpdateVCFSequenceDictionary \
    -V /gatk/my_data/wgs_processing_facilitating_data/hg38_to_hg19/lifted_small_exac_common_3.hg19.vcf.gz \

    --output /gatk/my_data/wgs_processing_facilitating_data/hg38_to_hg19/updatedDict_small_exac_common_3.hg19.vcf.gz \
    --replace true

    The result is:

    Then, I have tried the GetPileupSummaries again using the second file generated (i.e.updatedDict_small_exac_common_3.hg19.vcf.gz) using the following command:

    gatk GetPileupSummaries -I /gatk/my_data/wgs_BAM/step1_1/unfiltered_LP6005115-DNA_B07.vcf -L /gatk/my_data/wgs_processing_facilitating_data/hg38_to_hg19/updatedDict_small_exac_common_3.hg19.vcf.gz -V /gatk/my_data/wgs_processing_facilitating_data/hg38_to_hg19/updatedDict_small_exac_common_3.hg19.vcf.gz -O /gatk/my_data/wgs_BAM/step1_3/getpileupsummaries_LP6005115-DNA_B07.table

    Hi Ruiqiao Bai,

    Thank you for your patience as we looked into this issue. Because your VCF headers are up to date and throwing no issues anywhere else, we are thinking that the issue is coming from the tool not being able to find a sequence dictionary that matches the reference version of your input VCF. You can create a sequence dictionary from your reference fasta (used to create the VCF) with the CreateSequenceDictionary tool, then specify it directly to GetPileupSummaries with the --sequence-dictionary option. 

    This should hopefully solve your problem! Let me know how it goes.

    Best,

    Genevieve

    Dear Genevieve,

     

    Thank you so much for your help! I have created the .dict file using the following command:

    gatk CreateSequenceDictionary -R /gatk/my_data/wgs_processing_facilitating_data/hg19.fa

     

    Then, I have tested the following command, and received a new error ‘Input files master sequence dictionary and reads have incompatible contigs: No overlapping contigs found.’ Please see below for details. It seems that my ‘reads contigs’ are empty. May I know how should I fix this issue?

     

    gatk GetPileupSummaries -I /gatk/my_data/wgs_BAM/step1_1/unfiltered_LP6005115-DNA_B07.vcf -L /gatk/my_data/wgs_processing_facilitating_data/hg38_to_hg19/lifted_small_exac_common_3.hg19.vcf.gz -V /gatk/my_data/wgs_processing_facilitating_data/hg38_to_hg19/lifted_small_exac_common_3.hg19.vcf.gz -O /gatk/my_data/wgs_BAM/step1_3/getpileupsummaries_LP6005115-DNA_B07.table --sequence-dictionary /gatk/my_data/wgs_processing_facilitating_data/hg19.dict

    Ahh, I see, I missed the issue earlier. The -I file is supposed to be your BAM file containing your reads, not a VCF file. 

    You can see the tool docs for more information: https://gatk.broadinstitute.org/hc/en-us/articles/4405451312539-GetPileupSummaries

    Please let me know if this solution works, if it does, I will submit a bug report ticket so that the GATK devs can make the error message more helpful for this problem.
