RepeatModeler FastaDB::getSubstr error

[klduong]

My RepeatModeler run ended abruptly with this entry in the run.out file

Processing RECON family: 1234
- Saving elements to a file...
FastaDB::getSubstr - Error index out of bounds! (SeqID=gi|95483, offset=1, length=142 actualSeqLen=141)
at /usr/local/RepeatModeler/RepeatModeler line 1523

RepeatModeler was on round 5, and was doing just fine processing RECON families until it got this this set. Has anyone found a solution to this error?

I'm using RepeatModeler 1.0.5 with RMBlast. The only changes I have made to the program are as described here http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24159, but those did not affect line 1523 or anything in the my $sequence = $batchDB->getSubstr( $seqName, $startOffset, $length ); command at that line, I think.

The RepeatMasker website has a patch for a similar error (FastaDB::substr - Error index out of bounds! at RepeatMasker line 4969), but it is for RepeatMasker's CrossmatchSearchEngine.pm module for Crossmatch. Can this patch also fix my RepeatModeler problem?

Hi,

Did you have any luck with this problem?

I have been experiencing it for some time, but the only way round it seems to be running RepeatModeler many many times until it finally (and seemingly randomly) works.

How can I make sure RepeatModeler works every time without erroring often?

Thanks,

Jom.

I should say the error I most recently saw (and I've seen this on a few occasions) was:

FastaDB::getSubstr - Error index out of bounds! (SeqID=gi|104228, offset=1865, length=60 actualSeqLen=1920) at /usr/users/celldev/cockerj/repeatmodeler2/RepeatModeler/RepeatModeler line 1624

I've also seen:

Program duration is 1271.0 sec = 21.2 min = 0.4 hr eleredef failed. Exit code 11

Now I know eleredef is something to do with RECON but really I don't what these errors mean. With the same input files and options sometimes RepeatModeler works and sometimes it doesn't.

How can I make sure RepeatModeler works every time without erroring often?

Thanks,

I have the same exact issue during round 5
