Velvet 1.2.10 failing velveth (no contigs)

[Genomics101]

Greetings!

I have used velvet with success before, but I seem to be missing something this time.

The data is paired-end HiSeq Illumina reads, 100bp (400bp inserts). Velvet is compiled with MAXKMERLENGTH=200, CATEGORIES=10, OPENMP=1.

The command I am using:

velvet_1.2.10/velveth Assembly1 53,91,8 -shortPaired -separate -fastq HiSeq_100_R1.trimmed.fastq.pe HiSeq_100_R2.trimmed.fastq.pe

The hash directories are formed for each kmer length, but they just come out with the following files: Log, Sequence, Roadmap -- no contigs, no stats, nothing else.

The sequences appear to be loading, the end of the standard output is:

......
[1262.752392] Inputting sequence 84000000 / 112022250
[1265.931838] Inputting sequence 42000000 / 112022250

[1299.845389] Done inputting sequences
[1299.845391] Destroying splay table
[1302.434467] Splay table destroyed

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Thanks!

Well, the superficial problem has been solved: I needed to run velvetg to get the rest of the information. The core issue, that I am an idiot, is harder to fix, but I appreciate everyone's patience with me. Cheers!
