For those with the problem with the -x 1 "Process 'extend/format contigs' failed":
I wrote an email yesterday to the company that distributes the program (Baseclear) and they told me:

I understand this point, yet we do not have plans at this very moment to address this.
So please continue to use the –x 0 option. My apologies.

So I asked for a previous version and they send me the 2.0.

Good luck.

PS: the 2.0 needs Perl 4 ¬¬'

Hello,

Were you guys able to figure it out? I am running SSPACE x_64 with options (x=1 and T=16) but I am getting the following error:

I would really appreciate your help.

Could you present your whole command?

Hi sunnycqcn,

Please see the response of 'El Crazy Xabi' above.
Either use -x = 0 or use an older version of SSPACE.

Hi fahmida,

If I use -x = 0 the assembly stats such as the N50, n>200, and max length stay the same. I have already emailed the SSPACE developers for an older version of it.

Thank you for your help.

I am sure the 3.0 version work well with the big genome. I assembled one genome last month, it worked well. Meanwhile, I met the same problem as same with you. So if your library file include a lot of libraries, the error file should be like as your error file. So if you can present your library file, I can know what it happen.

I found the SSPACE basic 2.1 in GitHub, from one of the original devs, so no need to bother with Baseclear to use the -x=1

Hi sunnycqcn,

My libraries.txt file looks like the following:

gjHS bowtie GerJamesonii_HS_1_P.fastq GerJamesonii_HS_2_P.fastq 100 0.25 FR
gjGA bowtie GerJamesonii_1_P.fastq GerJamesonii_2_P.fastq 125 0.25 FR


Thank you,

[sunnycqcn]

How many libraries is in your libraries files.

Hi sunnycqcn,

Usually, you can try a small dataset firstly.
Then software work well, you can run lots of data.
I am sure that my data run well now.

Hi sunnycqcn,

Hi - I have a question about the "-n" option.

Here's what the option does: "minimum overlap required between contigs to merge adjacent contigs"

Does this mean that the SSPACE will assemble to contigs together that have terminal overlaps - like minimus2 would do?

Hi all,
What am I doing wrong if I get:

READING READS lib1:
------------------------------------------------------------
Total inserted pairs = 3413702
Number of pairs containing N's = 17688
Remaining pairs = 3396014

LIBRARY lib1 STATS:
################################################################################

MAPPING READS TO CONTIGS:
------------------------------------------------------------
Number of single reads found on contigs = 0
Number of pairs used for pairing contigs / total pairs = 0 / 0
------------------------------------------------------------

READ PAIRS STATS:
Assembled pairs: 0 (0 sequences)
Satisfied in distance/logic within contigs (i.e. -> <-, distance on target: 600 +/-60): 0
Unsatisfied in distance within contigs (i.e. distance out-of-bounds): 0
Unsatisfied pairing logic within contigs (i.e. illogical pairing ->->, <-<- or <-->): 0

Unsatisfied in distance within a given contig pair (i.e. calculated distances out-of-bounds): 0

Estimated insert size statistics (based on 0 pairs):
