I have PE RNA-seq fastq files that I trimmed, aligned, and deduped, split N_CIGAR, recalibrated. Once I got my bam file, I wanted to make sure it was done correctly, but I see nothing in IGV. I zoomed in, still nothing. I printed the header and it looked fine.

samtools mpileup -Buf /Documents/gencode/GRCh38.p5.genome.fa \
    -l /Documents/plist_hg38.bed /Documents/Projects/120529_0165_L007_tstaidsr.bam |\
    bcftools call -Amv > /Documents/Projects/120529_0165_L007_tstaidsr.vcf

samtools view -H /Documents/Projects/120529_0165_L007_tstaidsr.bam

Please follow the steps outlined in the answer to this question. Briefly, pipe the output of samtools view into head to get the first few alignments. Then zoom to those regions in IGV. Let me know if you still don't see anything.

Thanks for your reply. That was actually a post I was looking at. The above output was with

samtools view -H

Right, so that's just showing your header. We want to look at the first few alignments without the header. Instead, type this:

samtools view [your.bam] | head

Hey, Dan. This is what I get:

OK, so if you load the BAM file and reference in IGV, and you zoom to chr1:12900-14000, do any alignments appear?

I see nothing. I even tried zooming in as much as I can.

EDIT: My posting limit has reached max for 6 hours. I'll have to wait... I hope this edit reaches you.

Note that it's only after I try recalibrating my bases (in GATK) this happens.

are you sure there are some reads in the zoomed region ?

There are no reads in the zoomed region.

my question was how do you know there are some read here ?

What is the output of

samtools view -c /Documents/Projects/120529_0165_L007_tstaidsr.bam "chr17:7677941-7678011"

My mistake. I get

0

when I type

samtools view -c /Documents/Projects/120529_0165_L007_tstaidsr.bam "chr17:7677941-7678011"

EDIT: Upon closer inspection, the bam file after alignment was done correctly. It was during recalibration with GATK everything disappeared.
