Hi,

I am trying to run the latest version (GenomeAnalysisTK-2.0-35-g2d70733) of the HaplotypeCaller on some .bam files that I had prepared according to the Best Practice v.3. Now GATK reports the following error:

ERROR ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now I am assuming my old bam files are not compatible with the new HaplotypeCaller. Is that correct?

Thank you for your help, K
