  • MAQ - Segmentation fault

    Hi all,

    I just started with the DNA sequencing and analysis area and everything is all new to me. So please be easy on me.

    Now I am trying to learn how to align and analyze data. I downloaded MAQ, compiled it (in PowerPC G5 computer), copied maq, maq.pl etc to runfiles director, and try to run with a test data file as suggested in MAQ

    Code:
    maq.pl demo ref.fasta calib-36.dat
    Calib-36.dat came together with the MAQ package, and ref.fasta is as simple as

    Code:
    >D86934(D86934)probable sugar-nucleotide dehydratase [imported] - Mycobacterium leprae
    MYGEPVRALVTGAAGFIGSTLVDRLLADGHTVVGLDNFATGHAANLEHLASTPALAFVEA
    DIVTADLQTILDEHRPEVVFHLAAQIDVRHSVVDPQFDASVNVIGTVRLAEAARHTGVRK
    IVHTSSGGSIYGTPSQYPTPETVPTDPTSPYAAGKVAGEIYLNTFRHLCGLDCSHIAPAN
    VYGPRQDPYGEAGVVAIFVQALLSDRPTKVFGDGTHTRDYVFVDDVVDAFIKASGDAGGG
    QRFNIGTGIETSDRQLHTAVSAAVGGPDDPEFHPPRLGDLKRSCLDIGLATTVLGWSPQV
    QLDDGVRRTVEYFRAAQRS
    After a while, I got Segmentation fault error:

    Code:
    -- CMD: mkdir -p maqdemo
    -- CMD: /usr/local/bin/maq simulate -N 1000000 maqdemo/r1.fq maqdemo/r2.fq ref.fasta calib-36.dat > maqdemo/true.snp
    -- 1 sequences, total length: 319
    sh: line 1: 37110 Segmentation fault      /usr/local/bin/maq simulate -N 1000000 maqdemo/r1.fq maqdemo/r2.fq ref.fasta calib-36.dat > maqdemo/true.snp
    ** fail to run command '/usr/local/bin/maq simulate -N 1000000 maqdemo/r1.fq maqdemo/r2.fq ref.fasta calib-36.dat > maqdemo/true.snp' at /usr/local/bin/maq.pl line 842.
    What I am doing wrong, or is this any missing step that I forget? Anybody help please!

    That doesn't look any DNA I have seen before!

      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...
