Hi everyone,
I'm a beginner using spades 3.11.0 since March2019 , trying to practice doing some assemblies via getting SRA files from papers that i'm interested in.
What I have done:
Pulled SRA/ERR files using: curl -O ftp://ftp-trace.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sra/sra-instant/reads/ByRun/sra/ERR/ERR238/ERR2383823/ERR2383823.sra
fastq-dump --split-files --split-spot --skip-technical --minReadLen 64 --defline-seq @$ac.$si --defline-qual "+" ./ERR2383823.sra
fastq_pair ERR2383823_1.fastq ERR2383823_2.fastq
spades.py --pe1-1 ERR2383823_1.fastq.paired.fq --pe1-2 ERR2383823_2.fastq.paired.fq -o ERR2383823_spades
From my previous experience I have never encounter this issue. The program runs fine but then all the contigs.fasta output are very small and QUAST said: ERROR! None of the assembly files contains correct contigs. Please, provide different files or decrease --min-contig threshold.
Below is the warning messages I keep getting using different files. === Error correction and assembling warnings:
0:00:07.370 96M / 8G WARN General (kmer_coverage_model.cpp : 218) Too many erroneous kmers, the estimates might be unreliable

Would anybody know how to resolve this issue or any errors I should be aware of?
