Research direction

The report mentions Samtools, Bcftools, sugar pine, and a BCF header error, but names no source file, test, command, or input file. Start by gathering the missing command and input details; the report does not define a reproducible change or what completion would look like.

Description

Hi,

I am using Samtools and Bcftools to call SNPs with sugar pine as a reference (58407655 scaffolds). I met an error message "[E::bcf_hdr_read] Failed to read BCF header". Could anyone can help me fix this?

Best,

Wei
