Hi i'm new to MaSuRCA and got this error while trying to do my first assembly, below is the config file and the output from MaSuRCA. thanks

Thanks a lot

I would suggest you start your first MaSuRCA run with the test data from MaSuRCA ftp site

ftp://ftp.genome.umd.edu/pub/MaSuRCA/test_data/rhodobacter/

PE data only, then add SJ, Sanger data.

Then double-check your input data. e.g. FastqPairedEndValidator.pl

Good luck!

Update 27-07-2013

MaSuRCA finally released the config file for test data rhodobacter

ftp://ftp.genome.umd.edu/pub/MaSuRCA/test_data/rhodobacter/sr_config_Illumina_Sanger_1x.txt

I have a follow up question on this: how do I add libraries progressively? you mentioned here that you can add PE data only for the first round and then add SJ data.. how do I do this exactly? do mean multiple rounds or am I missing out something obvious?

Hi,

I contacted developers regarding this and they suggested that read_names does not matter during pre-processing of data. He suggested me to perform a test with my fastq file:

> file -b -i jumps.A.fastq

This gave me the results like:

text/x-python; charset=us-ascii

I emailed results to developers and they suggested that - the operating system thinks that your fastq file is a python code. This is not correct. The type should be text/plain.

The simple way to fix this:

Look at expand_fastq script under masurca bin folder and replace the line:

    (text/plain*)
with
    (text/*)

everything should work afterward.

After this change, I was able to run the assembler correctly with setting JF_SIZE=1800000000 value very high.

Thanks Sagar

I've been having the same problem. The test data doesn't help. My data is PE only, the paired ends have been checked, and the error happens for some genomes but not others, with no apparent pattern of read length, GC content, or anything else I can think of.

Me too, and it is so annoying!!! I thought it was a memory (RAM) problem but then I tried to re run with some libraries that worked well in past and same error.

Anyone with a solution?

Luis
