Hello, I have illumina Data: Trying to use kallisto and Salmon for alignment. 12 PE samples Both are failing to process my data:

Can some one try advising where and what is the problem? Thank you, Prasad.

The errors are pasted below:

The issue is that you have samples where no reads are mapping. When there are no reads, there is no meaningful relative abundance of transcripts. I've recently (in the develop branch of salmon) changed the default behavior to be to warn the user and output a quant.sf file with all 0 TPMs. However, regardless of what the output / behavior is, you can't get any useful information out of a sample where nothing maps to the transcriptome. Are you sure your reference transcriptome is right / matched to your samples?
