mergeSTR can't merge haploid data from HipSTR output

[Lidweixiang]

Hi,

Recently I have been processing some haploid vcf files from HipSTR output and I find I can't merge haploid data through mergeSTR, and the errors are as follows:

TypeError: ufunc 'isnan' not supported for the input types, and the inputs could not be safely coerced(line 400 in mergeSTR.py)

I know dumpSTR didn't support haploid, is mergeSTR the same way?

Best,
Weixiang

I encountered a similar problem when merging the output vcf file of expansionHunter with mergeSTR.

~tr_harmonizer.py", line 209, in InferVCFType raise TypeError('Could not identify the type of this vcf')
TypeError: Could not identify the type of this vcf

Have you solved this problem?

I have no idea about that, do you set the parameter --vcftype to eh ?
