pairtools:Empty of fully duplicated library, can't estimate complexity

[Wong718]

Thanks for conducting this useful tool for 3D genome analysis.
However, when I tried to convert the bam file (haplotagged by whatshap) to the pairs format, I met the error

pairtools:Empty of fully duplicated library, can't estimate complexity

The code I run was as follows

pairtools parse2  \
	--output-stats scNM-C_001.stats.txt \
	-c $fai --drop-sam --drop-seq --expand --add-pair-index --min-mapq 20\
	scNM-C_001.ht.bam -o scNM-C_001.ht.pairs.gz

Could you help me fix this problem? thanks a lot.

Do you get any pairs in the output? If yes, this should be safe to ignore at this stage. This is a warning from estimation of library complexity which requires annotation of duplicated pairs, but at the parsing stage before dedup this information is not available.

Thanks for your extremely quick reply!
However, I have checked the output and there is no proper output in the .pairs file. And I also try the unhaplotagged .sam file directly generated from bwa, but it seems the same.
The output .pairs file write

and the .stat file write

Previously, I have tried to due with the same .sam file with hickit::sam2seg and it has generated informative and proper results. So what's the problem. And I sincerely appreciate you reply again, thank you.

@agalitsyna is this something you fixed recently?

Hi @Wong718 ,
What version of pairtools do you use?
Is the problem reproducible with the latest version from github?
Is it single-end read library or paired-end?
Also, feel free to share the sample of this bam file.
