Hello!
 You are right, the header is there (I forgot the -H) but that does not 
 explain why the QC-program complains that there is no header. Well, 
 well, I guess that is my problem.

  hey,
 I am curious, because the GEM-2-SAM converter adds a basic header to 
 the SAM file and this is also included in the BAM.
 When I do a
 samtools view -H NA20805-NA20805.4.M_120208.bam
 I get

 so basic chromosome information is contained. Is there a problem with 
 this part of the header or is there other information missing ?

     Hello,
     Jonas pointed out that the GEM bam files don't have header lines,
     which
     may be a problem in some cases. I uploaded a reference index file
     (/upload/geuvadis/wp4_rnaseq/main_project/external_data/reference/hg19_AXYM.fa.fai)
     that can be used at least in samtools as additional information
     so that
     header info is not required, or you can also use that to add
     headers to
     your bams if you like.
     best regards,
     Tuuli

  Hello!
 When I tried to run QC-analysis on the GEM-files many of the 
     analysis
  modules failed because there is no header in the
.bam-files. Is 
     this a
  mistake or by choice?
