Dear Appu,
one direction of your cristal has very anistropic diffraction. I think
your cristal has grown like multi-layer. The problem is probably due to
the DNA. If the different "layer" of your cristal are not very well
aligned, you have this type of problem.
In my opinion, you can try to select a subset of your data in the best
direction and try to find your cell parameters and space grp. After
that, if you have high symmetry parameters it could be sufficient with
the subset, or you can try to reindex the other part of your data. I
collect a lot of this type of data set. And all the time it was
difficult to deal with. If you have time, and if your cristal has not
suffer from radiation damage, you can try smaller oscillation angle.
Hope to help you
