Hello

I'm trying to plot the coverage of a bam file from a ChIP-seq experiment via NGSplot and I get the following error:

Configuring variables...Error in CheckRegionAllowed(reg2plot, default.tbl) :
  Unknown region specified. Must be one of: bed
Execution halted

This is the command I'm using:

ngs.plot.r -G mm10 -R tss -C myfile.bam -O mybamfile.ngs

If I change the -R from "tss" to "bed" and specify a bed file I get from the PeakCaller software, it works just fine. However, I want it to take into consideration only the bam file

Any ideas why I'm getting this error message?

Thanks

The problem could be that your region's file does not end in .bed?

Otherwise, I suggest you to use deepTools instead (note: I am part of the developing team). Simply:

pip install deepTools
bamCoverage -b myfile.bam -o myfile.bw
computeMatrix -R tss -S myfile.bw -o matrix
profile -m matrix -o profile.pdf

Also, once you have a matrix you can plot a heatmap and add some clustering:

heatmapper -m matrix --kmeans 2 -o heatmap.png

You can take a look at the documentation (https://github.com/fidelram/deepTools/wiki) for more information.

I'm mainly using deeptools (prefer it better) ;)

Just wanted to also use NGS to see whether I'm getting the same output...Guess I'll have to stick with deeptools then

"computeMatrix: error: argument : invalid choice: 'tss' (choose from 'scale-regions', 'reference-point')" now this doesn't work .

But when i using the something like this

 "computeMatrix scale-regions -S 10_S10_L002sorted_rem.bam.bw 11_S11_L002sorted_rem.bam.bw -R gencode.v21.annotation.bed --beforeRegionStartLength 3000  --regionBodyLength 5000  --afterRegionStartLength 3000 --skipZeros -o matrix.mat.gz
"

It takes a lot of time but when i choose like chr21 this for my bed region it generates the matrix ...how to reduce the matrix generation time ?
