Error "Could not create tar.gz file" for Mutect2 --f1r2-tar-gz

    First thought that comes to mind: You are specifying a folder structure to place the f1r2 output. 

    --f1r2-tar-gz $dout/interim/${sampleid}_f1r2.tar.gz 

    Did you make sure that the folder interim exists? The mutect2 call should maybe be preceded by 

    mkdir $dout/interim

    Best,

    Philipp,

    Wow, thank you so much! That did it. This was probably something I should have figured out on my own. I really appreciate your prompt response. 

    Best,

    Saya
