  • RepeatMasker error: line in unrecognized format

    Hey everyone,

    I'm currently trying to run RepeatMasker on a RepeatScout generated library in FASTA form, and I keep getting the same error. RepeatMasker appears to be operating normally and the code I'm entering makes it run, but then it gives me output stating:

    FastaDB::_cleanIndexAndCompact - WARNING: RepeatMasker encountered a line in an unrecognized format. The offending subsequence is "GGAAA\". The offending line is "AACAGAAATAAAACTATAACTGAAAATATATTTGTCTGACGTGGGAATTGAACTCACGGATAACGACTCGGTAAAGGAAA\". Sequence is being ignored.
    FastaDB::_cleanIndexAndCompact - WARNING: RepeatMasker encountered a line in an unrecognized format. The offending subsequence is "ACCTG\". The offending line is "AATATCAGAAACCGATTTATTAATTAAAACATTTATTAAATATATTTATCATTATGGTATGCAAAGTATCAAAACACCTG\". Sequence is being ignored.
    FastaDB::_cleanIndexAndCompact - WARNING: RepeatMasker encountered a line in an unrecognized format. The offending subsequence is "TTTCA\". The offending line is "CATAAATTAAATCGTTTACGTCATATTCCCTGAACTCGAGTATGCAAATAATAACGATATACTATAATATTTGTGTTTCA\". Sequence is being ignored.
    FastaDB::_cleanIndexAndCompact - WARNING: RepeatMasker encountered a line in an unrecognized format. The offending subsequence is "ATTAC\". The offending line is "GAGTACACAAACTGTATATTATATTTGCAGGTGTTTTGAACTTGTGCATATTTACTTCTAGCAACAGTACCAACCATTAC\". Sequence is being ignored.

    and just repeats that error message for the rest of my repeat library. I've tried it on several different repeat libraries, including ones that have been known to work in RepeatMasker in the past. Has anyone else ever run into this problem, or have any idea how to fix it? Thanks for your help!

    It looks like you have some strange characters at the end of these lines in your FASTA file. Open the file in a editor and double check the format of these sequences.

      Genetic Variation in Immunogenetics and Antibody Diversity
      by seqadmin



      The field of immunogenetics explores how genetic variations influence immune responses and susceptibility to disease. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, Oscar Rodriguez, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Louisville, and Ruben Martínez Barricarte, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University, shared recent advancements in immunogenetics. This article discusses their research on genetic variation in antibody loci, antibody production processes,...

      Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
      by seqadmin



      Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...
