ValueError: Processing failed on GEMINI chunk load

[tanayb001]

I want to use gemini to annotate my variants generated from GATK pipeline using hg38 genome. Below is the gemini version I'm using:
iit@iit:~$ /home/iit/bin/gemini -v
gemini 0.30.2

Installation:

Gemini data files updated
Finished: gemini, tools and data installed
Tools installed in:
~/Toolkit/gemini
NOTE: be sure to add ~/Toolkit/gemini/bin to your PATH.
Data installed in:
~/Toolkit/gemini
NOTE: Install data files for GERP_bp & CADD_scores (not installed by default).

Here is my full command that I used and get the following error:

$ /home/iit/bin/gemini load -v /home/iit/Documents/geminifile/sample.somatic.filtered.PASS.vep.vcf --cores 4 --skip-gerp-bp --skip-cadd -t VEP /home/iit/Documents/geminifile/sample.somatic.filtered.PASS.vep.vcf.db

Please let me know how to solve it.

Thanks.

Hi, it looks like your gemini is not executable:

/bin/sh: 1: gemini: Permission denied

you can do chmod +x /path/to/gemini to make it so. You should be able to run gemini without any arguments.

Also, unless you have a specific reason to use gemini, consider trying slivar

[tanayb001]

chmod +x /path/to/gemini is not working. Checked sliver but not understanding it. It gives:

Finished. evaluated 70 total variants and wrote 67 variants that passed your slivar expressions

But it looks like it just applied some filters . GEMINI brings in information from a variety of sources including: OMIM, ClinVar, GERP, PolyPhen 2, SIFT, ESP, 1000 Genomes, ExAC, ENCODE, CADD and more! which are not there in slivar. Is it correct
?

Hi, your gemini must be executable for gemini_load to work. If you run and show the full command and full output it will be easier to hep you.
