    Hi David Condon,

    Thank you for writing to the GATK forum! I hope we can help you to sort this out.

    Firstly, you mention a User Error in the HaplotypeCaller step; I only see a BufferUnderflowException in the stack trace you included. Could you please clarify where you are seeing this error? 

    The BufferUnderflowException looks particularly unfortunate; this may be an external I/O issue. Could you also clarify whether your bam has read groups defined?

    Hopefully, the above information will help us better understand the origin of the issue. Please let me know if any other questions arise in the meantime!

    Best,
    Anthony

    Hi Anthony,

    the problem is that STAR is not meant for whole-exome sequencing, so it was my fault
