Hi there!
I've tried googling my problem, but I really couldn't find any proper answer or meaningful explanations to that.
The vast majority of my sequences in the abyss contig fasta files has the standard header format (e.g. >217 1452 43433)
A few of them show a non standard header looking as the following: >23892451 612 30983 145290-,2958386+,6879596+ or >23914100 434 17555 1186186+,...,8272178+
I would be really grateful if you could help me on this matter and tell me how I should interpret this.
Many thanks in advance!
Matteo
Hi Agata! Thanks for the quick reply and suggestion! I checked the link you posted. It basically says that the other "non-standard" header fields represent sequences IDs overlapping with the subject sequence. So far, so good...it makes sense. However, when I look for the overlapping sequences IDs (in my example let's say 145290) in my whole assembly fasta file, these do not exist….and this is not possible if the "non-standard" fields are related to the adj specifications. Right? Any other thoughts? Maybe Abyss developers know the trick here! ;) Take care Matteo
