Hi

Running plotCoverage (Deeptools) on a single (or multiple) filtered BAM file(s) returns a completed job with the following error message:

empty format png database hg38 The number of labels does not match the number of BAM files.

what does labels cover in this context? and how can these be changed?

Thanks

Hello, This is a known reported issue with no solution yet. The server/cluster issues from over the weekend are pending resolution. Once that is done, more testing can be done, and we will post more feedback about this particular error. Thanks for your patience during this upgrade phase at http://usegalaxy.org - Jen, Galaxy team

Jen this is fixed in one of the most recent deeptools releases. An update would be good. As background, deeptools is taking the dataset name as label. If the dataset name as whitespaces in it, it breaks in older releases. So a workaround would be to rename all bam files in your history to not container whitespaces.

Thanks Bjoern!

Good to know about the work-around concerning the dataset name. A ticket to track the tool update is here for nhs: https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/issues/2331
