ChIPQC on samples without peaks and wrong total reads

I am trying to use ChIPQC on a set of bam files only (without peaks). I am using the version ChIPQC 1.8.3. So, I created a sample sheet with the bam file and no peak file. I am currently facing 2 issues in generating a ChIPQCreport.

1. I am unable to generate a html report for the experiment (error pasted below)

2. Individual bam file report works fine, but the total number of reads reported are almost double of what is being reported by samtools flagstats or FASTQC (please can you explain why this is happening? FASTQC reports total reads in the fastq file)

Sample sheet

hi Amy, The double count for the total reads was due to a duplicated line in earlier ChIPQC Bioconductor 3.3 releases. I fixed this yesterday in the latest version 1.8.6 which should be available today or tomorrow (or is available from SVN in Bioc now). The warning message you see. In ChIPQC(try, annotation = "mm10") : No chromosomes specified in peaks, using all. Come from ChIPQCexperiment using all chromosomes in BAM for the analysis as opposed to selecting from chromosomes in peak files (which it tries when peaks are specified.). This isnt a problem. The error which appears to stop the report is coming from one of the DiffBind plots in ChIPQC, plotCorHeatmap, which hopefully Rory can address. It simply throws an error when no peaks are availalble. If Rory doesnt find a solution i will work around the plot and get back to you when the working version is in Bioconductor repositories. best, tom On Wed, Sep 14, 2016 at 8:58 AM, Amy [bioc] <noreply@bioconductor.org> wrote: > Activity on a post you are following on support.bioconductor.org > > User Amy <https: support.bioconductor.org="" u="" 10057=""/> wrote Question: > ChIPQC on samples without peaks and total reads > <https: support.bioconductor.org="" p="" 87071=""/>: > > I am trying to use ChIPQC on a set of bam files only (without peaks).

Thanks Tom! I will try with the new version in that case :-)

If there are no peaks, we should still generate a report and simply skip the plots that only make sense if there are peaks, rather than report an error. We are already testing for this condition and reporting an error, we just need to change the test that prints out the "No peaks to plot" lines to something that returns cleanly. 

I'll coordinate an appropriate response with Tom.

hi Amitha,

I have added a fix to skip the troublesome plots in ChIPQC version 1.8.8.

best,

tom.
