Hi everyone,

I am trying to do bedtools coverage with my .bed and .bam files; however, only half of the .bed files worked, while the other half had this error:

Error: unable to open file or unable to determine types for file SRR14194209_minus_bottom_sorted_removed_opposite_gene_6kb.bed
- Please ensure that your file is TAB delimited (e.g., cat -t FILE).
- Also ensure that your file has integer chromosome coordinates in the expected columns (e.g., cols 2 and 3 for BED).

When I checked for tab delimited, cat -t FILE, here was the output example for all the files:

chr4^I119280127^I119286127^IID=FL_L1-1635^I.^I-^I119274114^I119280127^IL1.3_300bp5NoF^I6^I593^I6013^I0.0986197

Any insights of what might be happening? Thank you so much in advance!

what is the output of the following commands:

file SRR14194209_minus_bottom_sorted_removed_opposite_gene_6kb.bed

awk -F '\t' '(NF < 3 || $1=="" || int($2)<0 ||  int($3)<=0 || int($2)>int($3) )' SRR14194209_minus_bottom_sorted_removed_opposite_gene_6kb.bed | head

cut -f 1 SRR14194209_minus_bottom_sorted_removed_opposite_gene_6kb.bed | uniq | sort | uniq -c

all your START positions are greater than the END positions. This is invalid for BED.

chromEnd: End position of the feature on the chromosome. chromEnd must be an integer greater than or equal to the value of chromStart ...
