Using SOPAdenovo: no [LIB] in file

[Liyiyuian]

Hello everyone,

This is my first time to do de novo assembly. I'm trying to use SOAPdenovo-63mer to assembly a file.fastq from NCBI.
However when I type this command:
./SOAPdenovo-63mer all -s /home/NGSusers/b99b02008/iGEM/SRR037531.fasta -o outputgraph -N 12000000 -V

It told me "Config file error: no [LIB] in file". What is it mean???

plz give me a hand. Thank you very much!!

Hi Liyiyuian,

It looks as though you are giving a .fasta file rather than a configuration file in the "-s" argument.

Hi there!

You need to create a .config file.
