PennCNV Software ; Not reporting CNVs in some samples

Question

[zkafi1370]

Hello

I am working with PennCNV software to analyze 300 samples (chickens) and I used below command for this analysis:

./detect_cnv.pl -test -hmm lib/hh550.hmm -pfb gallus.pfb sample1.txt sample2.txt sample3.txt -log sampleall.adjusted.log -out sampleall.adjusted.rawcnv -gcmodel gallus.gcmodel

but the software does not report any CNVs for a large number of samples (125 samples) without any errors or warnings.

For example, one of these samples is sample1.txt , which after running, the software gives the following notices but the output file is empty :

NOTICE: All program notification/warning messages that appear in STDERR will be also written to log file sampleall.adjusted.log
NOTICE: Reading marker coordinates and population frequency of B allele (PFB) from out.pfb ... Done with 51348 records (3980 records in chr W,0,Z,LGE64,LGE22C19W28_E50C23 were discarded)
NOTICE: Reading LRR and BAF values for from sample1.txt ... Done with 51348 records in 29 chromosomes (3981 records are discarded due to lack of PFB information for the markers)
NOTICE: Adjusting LRR by GC model: WF changes from -0.0105 to 0.0111, GCWF changes from -0.0024 to 0.0001</code>
NOTICE: Data from chromosome 32 will not be used in analysis
NOTICE: Median-adjusting LRR values for all autosome markers from sample1.txt by 0.0039
NOTICE: Median-adjusting BAF values for all autosome markers from sample1.txt by -0.0303

I hope you help me

Thank you

ah something's gone afowl. hh550.hg18.pfb looks like a human reference to me. shouldn't you be using something that is more like galGal6?

I had made these changes before but there was no change in the result ...
