cellranger count: an extremely low rate of correct barcodes was observed

Question

[Alex]

I am new to cellranger. And I tried to run cellranger count for a fastq.gz file.

My code is something like this: (** is just to replace my address name due to privacy issue)

fastq-dump --outdir fastq --split-files --gzip SRR6334434

wget https://cf.10xgenomics.com/supp/cell-exp/refdata-gex-mm10-2020-A.tar.gz

gunzip refdata-gex-mm10-2020-A.tar.gz

tar -xvf prefdata-gex-mm10-2020-A.tar 

cellranger count --id 3 --fastqs /home/*******/20230515\ Ido\ Amit\ Cell\ 2015/fastq/ --sample SRR6334435 --transcriptome /home/*******/20230515\ Ido\ Amit\ Cell\ 2015/refdata-gex-mm10-2020-A --localcores=8 --localmem=64

And the output is like this:

[error] Pipestance failed. Error log at: 3/SC_RNA_COUNTER_CS/SC_MULTI_CORE/MULTI_CHEMISTRY_DETECTOR/_GEM_WELL_CHEMISTRY_DETECTOR/DETECT_COUNT_CHEMISTRY/fork0/chnk0-u949463768b/_errors

Log message: An extremely low rate of correct barcodes was observed for all the candidate chemistry choices for the input: Sample SRR6334435 in "/home/******/20230515 Ido Amit Cell 2015/fastq". Please check your input data.
- 0.2% for chemistry SC3Pv3
- 0.0% for chemistry SC5P-PE
- 0.0% for chemistry SC3Pv2
- 0.0% for chemistry SC3Pv3LT

I don't know what happens and how to fix it. I think they use illumina NextSeq 500 to do the scRNA seq. Thank you very much if you could help me.

SRR6334434 is not 10x data.

It is Agilent Sureselect V11 capture data see the metadata table here: https://trace.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Traces/?view=run_browser&acc=SRR6334434&display=metadata
