Different output in wig file in every running

kwonej0617 opened this issue · comments

Hello, developer.

I have a question regarding wig file.
I was wondering if there could be a case where the output contents of wig files are different in every run.
For example, I run Tombo with fast5 public data. The fast5 data were contained in different subf-olders and each folder has 4000 single-format fast5 files.
Using fast5 files in each sub-folder, I run Tombo, then checked whether .wig and .bedgraph files are successfully generated. However, I found that in a sub-folder, plus.wig was successfully generated but minus.wig file had only a head without contents. So I run Tombo again, and minus.wig were not generated again. Also, I found the contents in plus.wig were different from the previous one.

In my first running, the contents of plus.wig were, 
variableStep chrom=chr6 span=1
1395673 0.0000
1395675 0.0000
1395676 1.0000

In the second running, the contents of plus.wig were, 
variableStep chrom=chr2 span=1
278101 0.0000
278102 0.0000
278103 0.0000

  1. I wonder why I got different results between each run.
  2. Also, would be any specific reason that minus.wig are not generated?

Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you.

It seems that only the order of content is changed.
