Error Reading Reference Genome Using Bfast

Question

[Jordan]

Hi,

I'm getting an error while executing the following step in BFAST.

    bfast fasta2brg -f ~/Refs/human_hg19.fa

"************************************************************"

Checking input parameters supplied by the user ...

Validating fastaFileName /Refs/human_hg19.fa. 

"************************************************************"

In function "BfastFasta2BRGValidateInputs": Fatal Error[IllegalFileName]. Variable/Value: fastaFileName.

Message: Command line argument.

 *****Exiting due to errors *****

"************************************************************"

Does anyone why this occurs? Thanks!

expand the "~" to the full file-path.

I think the answer is pretty much that your file does not exist at the location that you specified or that it contains something else than what it should.

I checked the path. It is pointing to the right file. And this same human reference file has been used for a different analysis. It never gave any errors before.
