I would like to use htsget to download portions of bam files on EGA. I have access to the data, and can download whole files:
pyega3 -d -cf ~/.ega2 fetch EGAF0000xxxxxxxxx
However when I try to use htsget, the system fails:
pyega3 -d -cf ~/.ega2 fetch EGAF0000xxxxxxxxx --reference-name 1 --start 100000 --end 200000
The error code is:
500 Server Error: for url: https://ega.ebi.ac.uk:8051/elixir/data/files/byid/file?accession=EGAF0000xxxxxxxx&format=BAM&start=100000&end=200000&chr=1
I have been emailing the EGA helpdesk for 4 months (!) on this issue without resolution. Is anyone else able to use htsget with this service?
There is no documentation for the EGA htsget implementation (thought the pyega3 code is open source), is there a way I can use samtools view
to access the EGA data instead?
