  • celera assembler to ace file problem

    Has anyone been able to work with ace files generated from Celera assemblies using the ca2ace utility in AMOS? We are finding that these files cannot actually be opened in consed. The problem seems to be a glitch in how the conversion utility writes the BS lines, which indicate which read is the source of the consensus base for each position in the contig sequence. Seems like something we can fix with some scripting, but it would be great if the conversion utility was modified to fix this issue. Any alternative suggestions for a workaround?

    You could work with 'ca2ace' from the ca package at sourceforge. In both cases you will need to fix the TIME: tags in the DS line so they will match the TIME: tags
    in the phd file. This is necessary if you want to use consed without the '-nophd' switch.

    There are still some BS issues sometimes with 454 data, these can be fixed manually in the ace file itself.

      Thanks- We had noticed the time tag issue. I was hoping there was an automated way of fixing the BS line problem, but sounds like manual editing is needed. Do you happen to know what causes it?

        Not really, .. we have never really examined what went wrong, as this only happens ooccasionally.

        I still have my own ca2ace on my todo list .. ;-)

          problems with celera assembler ace

          I ran an assembly using 454 reads paired ends and paired ends titanium and when im loading my ace file to consed i get this:

          no ~/.consedrc file so no user resources will be used--that's ok
          no ./.consedrc file so no project-specific resources--that's ok
          couldn't open readOrder.txt--that's ok

            Hi,

            just two questions ...

            - which version of celera assembler?
            - how did you convert from ASM to ACE?

            You may want to try http://asm2ace.sourceforge.net/ for asm-to-ace conversion.

            This issue is known and can AFAIK only be fixed manually. The consensus and the base segments disagree. You need to manually cure this by shortening the contig mentioned to fit into the base segments boundaries. CA in some cases creates (ends of) contigs without (physical) read coverage.

            hth,
            Sven

              I'm having similar error messages with trying to convert to ace format. I've tried asm2ace, but it chokes on my fragment files with multiple {LIB} sections. (At least I'm assuming that's why it chokes, because if I remove the 2nd {LIB} the asm2whatever.pl doesn't crash)

              I'm using Celera Assembler 6.1, and AMOS (toAmos and amos2ace) to convert from ASM to ACE format.

              I'm not sure I understand exactly what the issue is and how to shorten the contig. I'm pretty new at this, so apologies if this seems obvious. The actual warning/error messages I'm seeing form consed are below.

                I am having trouble accessing asm2ace on Sourceforge. Can you provide an active link?
                Do you know of any other scripts that would convert a CA assembly to ace (or even bam)?
                Thanks.

                  What kind of trouble did you have?
                  It can be downloaded here http://sourceforge.net/projects/asm2ace/files/

                  I haven't used CA for quite a while now, I have no idea about other converters.

                    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...
