Error: No control treatment defined!

[Devin Dersh]

Hello, I'm trying to run an analysis but each time the output log gives:

### ERROR: No control treatment defined! ###

I certainly checked off the control samples. When I look at the Sample Names tab, none of the labels that I typed in during the setup seem to be showing up, as if they are not recording the sample names at all. 

Any thoughts? Thanks so much

Hi Devin,

I actually had exactly the same error message last week and I also had for sure checked off the control samples.

I'm wondering if PinAPL-Py has some sort of bug.

Today I'm again trying with renamed files (the control duplicates didn't have the same name before and this could be an issue).

Did you find a solution to your problem?

Hi, I submitted a bug report and also uploaded the demo data files to see if that would work. I suspect there was a server restart or something because after several days of being stuck in queue, the demo data files ran and did NOT display the "no control treatment defined" message. I will run my real samples again now to see. But hoping it was just an issue with the server. Let's see.

I am still trying to troubleshoot this but did you concatenate your fastq files going in? When I stopped doing that, it seems like the runs are succeeding. Like I said, still trying to figure it out, but I don't think it's a general issue with the program...
