  • Cegma Error

    Hello,

    I realize there has been a whole discussion about this, but I have been trying to use cegma and encountered similar problems to others. Here is the error message I got:

    ********************************************************************************
    ** MAPPING PROTEINS TO GENOME (TBLASTN) **
    ********************************************************************************

    RUNNING: genome_map -n genome -p 6 -o 5000 -c 2000 -t 1 /Users/macuser/Desktop/BBMAP//data/kogs.fa /Users/macuser/Desktop/BBMAP/Gaviaimmerheader.fasta 2>output.cegma.errors
    FATAL ERROR when running genome_map 32512: ""

    Here is the code I used:cegma -g Users/macuser/Desktop/BBMAP/Gaviaimmerheader.fasta -o /Users/macuser/Desktop/BBMAP/Gavia_immer.fasta

    and the output.cegma.errors file gave this message: h: ./genome_map: No such file or directory


    I know this has been discussed already, but I was wondering if there is any consensus on what exactly this error message means. Previous answers have suggested that this may mean one of cegma's dependencies is not installed, cegma can't find your file, or perhaps there is an error in your fasta file. Or can it mean any of these things in different situations?

    I installed cegma simply by using homebrew and all of the dependences are listed . There are no pipe characters in my fasta headers. I am assuming that the problem is with finding the file as indicated by the output.cegma.error file. But since I gave the full path, I am not sure why this is (could this be because homebrew installs to /usr/local/Cellar and my files are on the desktop?). I have very limited bioinformatics experience so if anyone has any suggestions, I would be most appreciative of your advice.

    Sincerely,
    Zach

    Sounds like your Unix PATH variable isn't being set correctly. Your system can't find genome_map…this is not a CEGMA error per se.

    Where did you install the CEGMA binaries and what do you seen when you type:

    echo $PATH
    which genome_map

      Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
      by seqadmin


      Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
